Catalina Macaws in North Carolina
"How To Find The
Best Catalina Macaws
In The State Of North Carolina"
 Catalina macaws are extremely popular and one of the most wanted birds
of the hybrid macaws. The
Catalina is a lovely blend of the Scarlet Macaw and the Blue and Gold
Macaw.
This magical blend has resulted in the
coming together of beauty, brains, and friendliness of the two first
generation macaws, because of the fact that the Blue and Gold Macaws are
known as some of the friendliest birds in the macaw family, and the
scarlet macaw is a very smart bird.
Catalina macaws do not occur naturally in the wild. There are those who
advocate for the breeding of hybrid macaws, and those who are completely
against this practice and would prefer to maintain the pure macaw blood
flowing through every macaws veins. No matter what the belief is, there
is no doubt that the Catalina macaw is an incredibly beautiful
blend or hybrid.
When I first began researching macaws I thought it interesting to read
about the Catalina macaws in North Carolina. How this tropical bird made
his home in the eastern state I couldn’t fathom, but it all became clear
when I read about the Catalina macaws in North Carolina and the fact
that they are bred there because they do not breed naturally in their
place of origin.

of breeders near the Raleigh area. Once I heard about the Catalina

triangle area. This group is specific to a geographical area, but is
very active and promotes the education of individuals and groups on the
care of the Catalina macaws in north Carolina as well as other rare,
exotic, or captive birds.

store owners and employees, and veterinarians and their assistants and
students.

species represented, from budgerigars to Hyacinth macaws and finches to

breeding of caged birds and to discuss larger avicultural concerns such
as captive propagation of rare and endangered species and conservation
of avian species in their native habitats.
