What kind of bird is this?

I can not stand the cuteness of this birdy and I really feel like I should be able to figure out what kind of parrot this is. Watch the video and if you know, let me know! Thank you! :)

That is adorable. I love that macaw. Is that the size it will stay?

Yep, that's a Hahns mini macaw. Full-grown they are the size of a large conure (like a Cherry Head). I recently had a chance to compare a Hahn's and Mitred and the conure was bigger. The Hahns is the smallest macaw, I believe, and they're said to have a very conure-like personality.

Check out this video for a size comparison next to a sun conure: Bird Room Setup: Hahn’s Macaw and Sun Conure Playing

I love Hahns macaws. They are so cute!

Oh I sure do want a Hahns mini macaw now. They seem VERY smart. I love that video. What spoiled babies. There so cute. That is a pretty small macaw. Do they have the same personality?

Beaker has won my heart! I watched the video so many times! A mini hahns macaw is definitely on my future bird list. So adorable!

Wow, Monica, you are a great resource for videos! On my computer, the third link is the same as the second. Would love to see the Patagonian and the Hahns!
