Calico Macaw?

[jde2]

I recently got a macaw from someone that was unsure of what species it is. He's had it for about 10 years and the previous owners are no where to be found, possibly left the island. It looks like a Calico macaw hybrid but still a bit different from the Calicos I see online. Do anyone have an idea of what breed this one could be?

It's head is partially plucked but otherwise its in good health. Is it possible for the feathers to grow back? The macaw it was with before used to pluck it, I'm guessing this probably occurred for a few years, in other words it has been bald for a few years.

It's a very beautiful bird, I love its chest feathers; the pattern and colors are truly amazing. It's back has a light shade of yellow blending into the green, it almost looks like a highlighter yellow glowing over the green!

I would call it a happy Macaw in a good home. No more need be said...

But Yes it looks like a calico

I don't know anything about macaws, but that is an absolutely stunning bird! Have not seen a macaw with his coloring ever before!

Neither have I! I absolutely love the colors and patterns
But still I'd really like to know about its species and if its feathers will possibly grow back. I mean its no big deal about a little bald head, I'll possibly reach that point in 20 years or so :09:

After looking around, It looks like a shamrock or a Fiesta or possibly a variant of them.

I have no idea what breed he is but he is just beautiful! I've never seen such colours!

I see it has the yellowish green back of a shamrock but it's chest... Haven't seen any pictures of macaws with such a chest. Most of the hybrids I've seen have a somewhat solid color and not patterned chest unless it's a Camelot or something similar of a second or third generation hybrid.

Found a similar Shamrock to it! and he do take after the Shamrock Macaw!! Except the patterns in his chest show a bit more!

I've uploaded a pic I found and the link is below:

Shamrock Macaws are crossed with:
Scarlet Macaw Ara macao

I think you found it ! I see the slight yellowish on the side {of his head] where his feathers are plucked.
