Hello Polly
There are over 370 different types of parrots on Earth, and Macaws are the largest. Macaws normally weigh between 2 and 4 pounds, which is fairly hefty for a bird.
The largest of the macaws, the Hyacinth Macaw, can reach lengths of nearly 3 and a half feet long from the beak to the tip of the tail. In addition, they boast an impressive wingspan of up to 60 inches.
When properly taken care of, some macaw species, such as Blue and Gold Macaws can live for an average of 60 years, and many have been recorded to live for up to 80 years or even more.
