Hahn’s Macaw (Red-Shouldered Macaw)
The Hahn’s Macaw is the smallest member of the macaw family, yet one of the most charming. Also known as the Red-Shouldered Macaw, it’s loved for its intelligence, affectionate nature, and bright personality.
These beautiful birds display a vibrant mix of green feathers, blue-tipped wings, and a small patch of red on the shoulders. Their compact size—around 12 to 14 inches—makes them easier to handle than larger macaws, but they’re just as lively and expressive.
Hahn’s Macaws are clever talkers and quick learners. With regular interaction, they can mimic sounds, learn simple words, and even respond to your tone of voice. They form deep bonds with their owners and enjoy spending time out of the cage, exploring, playing, and being part of family activities.
This species is known for being gentle, curious, and loyal. When given attention and care, they become affectionate companions who love both mental and physical stimulation. A variety of toys, perches, and regular social time will keep them happy and active.

Working with Gregory and Birds Theory was amazing to bring home my Hahn’s Macaw. I was very skeptical of buying a bird online, but Gregory did everything needed to overcome my concerns and make the process comfortable. It did take longer for the bird to fully wean, so I didn’t get the bird during the initial time frame discussed. However, Bird Theory kept in contact with regular updates on the bird and eventually delivered it to me here in North Carolina. There is a lot of scams out there, but Bird Theory IS NOT ONE OF THEM. They are a great and helpful organization. When I got the bird he was already fully tamed and very affectionate. Do yourself a favor and work with Birds Theory if you’re looking for a feathered friend.
I purchased a baby Hahn’s Macaw from Bird Theory and asked them to do the weaning. They obviously give a great deal of loving attention while weaning. He is so sweet and and enjoys cuddles. I know when he’s a teenager, all that will change, but I’ll enjoy it while I can. Thank you for all that love and attention you give to your birds.
Wish you the best enjoy the baby
