2004 Liberia Hyacinth Macaw with Diamond Eyes – Silver Proof Coin
This Silver Proof Coin depicts a gold plated Hyacinth Macaw with diamond eyes. Low mintage of 5000 coins only, finish - proof.
Native to central and eastern South America, the Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), or Hyacinthine Macaw, is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species in the world, though the flightless Kakapo of New Zealand can outweigh it at up to 3.5 kg.
In terms of length it is larger than any other species of parrot. While generally easily recognized, it can be confused with the far rarer Lear's Macaw. Their popularity as pets has taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild. Birds in captivity fetch a price of around $9,000-$12,000 US.
