Sammy
Yellow Collar Macaw and Cage
Name: Sammy
Age: 10 years old
(comes with cage and accessories)

Sammy is a Yellow Collar Macaw (aka Yellow Nape Macaw), one of the several species of mini macaws. Yellow Collar Macaws typically reach a length of about 15 inches. Although not as spectacularly colored as its larger cousins, the Yellow Collar is quite a beautiful bird nonetheless. It is mostly dark green with brownish black on the top of the head, and dark brown around and under the facial patch, which is bare and yellowish white to white in color. As its name implies, the Yellow Collar sports a spiffy eye-catching yellow collar. The yellow on the nape can vary in size from just the back of the neck to an area that extends all the way to the top of the head. Ordinarily, the size of the yellow is quite a bit larger in mature birds than in young ones. As a result, Yellow Collars age gracefully, becoming ever more handsome as time passes.

The Yellow Collar Macaw is very curious and playful and so makes a wonderful pet. Properly trained when young, they tend to be friendly, affectionate companions. The Yellow Collar Macaw has good talking ability, and in fact, may well be the best talker of all the macaws. They typically learn fairly quickly. Given their love of socializing and vocalizing, they can become pretty noisy. This characteristic constrains their suitability for life in an apartment. Nevertheless, in an environment where a little noise on occasion isn't a big problem, a Yellow Collar Macaw can indeed be a very satisfactory pet and friend.
