By far, the most popular and sought after hybrid macaw in the world,
the Catalina Macaw combines the best of both parents, with the friendliness of the Blue & Gold Macaw, the intelligence of the Scarlet Macaw, and the beauty of both. The first generation Catalina coloration is dominated by the Blue & Gold half of the mix, but with brilliant orange contour feathers where previously there were yellow, and variations of greens, blues & hints of yellow on the upper coverts & center tail feathers. Second and multiple generation coloration is more difficult to predict, as the offspring do not necessarily replicate the coloring of the first generation parents.
