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.
What makes a macaw? Macaws are king-sized members of the parrot family and have typical parrot features. Their large, strong, curved beaks are designed to crush nuts and seeds. Their strong, agile toes are used like hands to grasp things. Loud, screeching and squawking voices help make their presence known in dense rain forests.
