🦜Hyacinth Macaw

Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus (Latham, 1790)

Ara hyacintový (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) je největším ptákem z rodu Anodorhynchus a zároveň největším papouškem schopným letu. Je celý kobaltově modrý, pouze kolem očí a na bradě má žlutou barvu. Uvádí se, že v dospělosti (po 12.–15. roce života) dokáže rozlousknout i kokosový ořech. Přezdívá se mu modrý král zelené Brazílie. Zajímavostí tohoto druhu je, že po osprchování vodou jeho peří mění barvu z modré na zelenou, po oschnutí zpět na modrou.
