Macaws are the largest family of parrots, and some can grow as tall as three feet and weigh up to 4 pounds. Since they are the largest parrots, macaws also have the longest life expectancies. If a young macaw joins your family, it probably will outlive you, as healthy macaws can survive 60 to 80 years. Even the smaller macaws, like the Hahns macaw, can live up 60 years.
Macaws also have gripping toes that they use to latch onto branches and to grab, hold, and examine items. The birds sport graceful tails that are typically very long. Macaws are intelligent, social birds that often gather in flocks of 10 to 30 individuals. Their loud calls, squawks, and screams echo through the forest canopy. Macaws vocalize to communicate within the flock, mark territory, and identify one another.
