Because hybrid macaws are a mixture of more than one type of macaw, the offspring are influenced by the traits and characteristics of both of its parents. Father’s have the dominant gene, so this will generally influence the offspring’s coloration and overall appearance. However the behavior and temperament are more unpredictable.

Camelot Macaws are among the most colorful of the Macaws. Their beautiful red coloration comes from the Scarlet Macaw portion of their parentage. They are a full size Macaw and are highly intelligent and inquisitive. They can learn to talk with a general vocabulary of about 15 or more words or expressions.
