Very nice.
Mrs. George and I had a cockatiel for about 2 weeks before she demonstrated an allergy to the powder on their feathers. The place where we bought (and returned) that bird had a hyacinth macaw. The loving nature of the bird really got us started on our journey with birds.
The hyacinths are the largest of the macaws. I believe that they are no longer allowed to be imported, and so they must be domestically-bred. Ridiculously expensive - more than $10K last time I looked.
The second largest species is that of the green-winged macaw (Sidney). Sidney weighs about 1 kg. The hyacinths are bigger than that. They are fantastic birds. Lifespan is on the order of other macaws, assuming no intervening illnesses.
