Charlie Roche - 2011-04-14 You could just start by calling all the major breeders that advertise in the back of Bird Talk. Or you could look up on the Internet to see if anyone advertises Hybrid birds for sale or again any large breeder. Many breeders feel very strongly that hybrids should not occur. So some breeders will not discuss a hybrid but some will. Be patient and just keep asking.
Linda Ehret - 2011-06-20 Hi Ashley, I own & operate a small bird store in Allentown, Pa for the last 26 yrs. One of my breeders has sunset macaws but they are rather pricey, 2000.00 is the price if you're interested.
Clarence - 2012-02-27 Or you could go directly to a breeder - potentially the one this store uses. Exotic Baby Birds of Englewood Florida breeds these and they sell them for $1500 to consumers directly. Save $500 and buy toys.
Steven Kochan - 2012-07-01 I have an 8 year old female Maui Sunset Macaw for sale. Tame with me, she is extremely beautiful. If you are interested my email is abc12tree@hotmail.com.

Charlie Roche - 2012-06-21 There are many macaw breeders and they advertise in the back of Bird Talk magazine. There are some excellent specialized exotic bird stores. Do not buy a bird you can not handle, hold, cuddle. You would not purchase a puppy that you can not handle - do not purchase a parrot you can not handle, hold and pet.
*Sally* - 2006-04-01 My Maui Sunset Macaw, Uno, is the sweetest bird in the world. He adores everyone, including my quaker parrot Quincy, my moluccan cockatoo Ray, and my two abyssinian cats, Abby and Annie. Uno especially adores my cats, even better than any of my birds. His favorite food would have to be corn-on-the-cob, green beans, and strawberries. He doesn't exactly have a cage; he instead has a million playstands around the house. I am so glad that Uno, as well as my other birds, are in my life.
Carlos Armand DuBoise - 2011-02-20 As of today I now have two Maui Sunset (2/20/2011) males. Both were given me as I must have a MaCaw sign on my head. But like Mir above he is a sweetie. It puzzles me I see none of the negative traits the former three owners warned me about. I just have to stand my ground as he is very Alpha. These are wonderful birds as are all my companions. No pictures yet but they will come soon.
Mickey - 2006-10-07 We have a maui sunset, and I wouldn't mind seeing/swapping pics of others to see the different variations in colors. Right now we're pretty clueless as to how Halyn will end up, and would love to see some more adult birds aside from the beautiful Mariah on this page, who I would like to see more pics of as well if anyone knows how to contact these people.

Roxanne Rogers - 2012-01-25 Where did you purchase Uno? Can you give me the name of a breeder? I've been looking for this type of macaw with no luck.
Carlos Armand DuBoise - 2010-10-17 I was given a Maui Sunset by people who were not sure he was their cup of tea. He is 14 months old determined from his leg band. He is all boy and all Macaw, every thing goes in his beak and it is always playtime. He is 980 k and loves his cooked food. I have 30 parrots in what was a 1100 sq ft servant quarters. The only serious modifications I made in the quarters was to install a stand alone HVAC and air scrubber system.. Like Sally I am happy each of them are in my life.
Because of its parentage, the personality of the Maui Sunset Macaw lends itself to being very friendly, playful, and even talkative... for a macaw!

What would a red front and a scarlet make or a red front and a military?
