Exotic birds are intelligent and sweet animals that love to interact with humans. The Pet Hale in Mililani, HI, is proud to hand-raise exotic birds, and this store is the only one in the area to do so. They offer feathered friends of all sizes, including macaws, amazons, and conures. Use this guide to learn more about the different types of birds and why they make excellent companions.

Macaws

Macaws can be recognized for their large size and bright red bodies, which are contrasted by vibrant teal and green wings. They also have large hooked beaks and long claws. While they may look intimidating, the birds are extremely friendly and can be affectionate when they've been hand-raised by humans.

Amazon

Amazon parrots are the most intellectual of this bunch of birds. They’re known for talking and singing regularly and loudly, especially in the mornings. Although amazons are smaller than macaws, they have similar bright green feathers. Depending on the type of amazon, the green coloring may be balanced by pretty red or yellow markings on the face.

Conures

Conures are easily recognized for their vibrant yellow, green, red, and orange feathers. Their marking also include a light-colored ring around their eyes. These birds are smaller than macaws and amazon parrots, making them ideal for a family home. Conures are inquisitive, playful, and outgoing, and they can even learn tricks and master a few words.
