Shamrock Macaw = Scarlet Macaw X Military Macaw

Scientific name: The Shamrock Macaw is a first generation hybrid macaw. It is a cross between a Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) and a Military Macaw (Ara militaris).

Description: Shamrock Macaws are a very colorful hybrid Macaw. The combination of both parents contribute to the striking colors of their offspring, though the father's have the dominant gene and this will influence their final appearance. A Shamrock Macaw, being a cross between a Military and a Scarlet Macaw, has lots of fiery reds contrasting nicely with the Military greens.
