best guess a filtered sparkly macaw

I’m no Mac expert, don’t own one

But my guess would be a Harlequin? A hybrid of B&G and Greenwing?
I’m sure someone else with chime in who might even own one!

Also, welcome to the forums! If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask!

I'm not up on all the hybrids, but I was leaning towards a Catalina. Might become more clear as more of her feathers come in. She's beautiful either way

I wasn’t sure which to say!

I’m thinking catalina honestly. I think harlequins are more green than blue, right? So I’m thinking catalina!

Edit: I am clearly blind. She looks like a harlequin too because she is quite green as well. So I’m thinking either harle or cata.

I was also guessing she was a harlequin !

She’s got almost multicolored feather like the tips are coming in a different color then the rest of her feathers so I’m completely confused but I love her obnoxious self regardless

I’ve never even heard of these!! I’m about to do some research lol

 

[Itsbarbie420]

Also,, she’s obviously not clipped and I do not plan on clipping her but her previous owners mentioned to me that she’s NEVER flown before she doesn’t even try which confuses me because I’ve had cockatiels as well as parakeets who all flew and I’ve even taken her outside but she just flaps herself all majestic but will NOT leave my shoulder ?

I agree! A rarely seen species!

I cannot find anything about these does anyone else know more ?

My Blue & Gold Max is the same way in regards to flying.

He has always been unclipped but just will not fly.
He'll only open his wings when he wants to look tuff or if he sees a towel and wants it's attention.

I love it lol I’m happy she’s not the only odd ball in the group I figured she was just scared because she is so so massive I don’t personally mind I couldn’t imagine her smacking into things in the house

I vote for a Catalina macaw

I’ve never even heard of these!! I’m about to do some research lol

They don't exist, I think it's a made up name

 

[Terry57]

I also vote for a Catalina, but whatever species she is she's gorgeous!
Bless you for rescuing her, she looks so happy.

Aren't Catalina and Harlequin macaws crosses between true species like B&G x Scarlet and another crossbreeding? I've read that some people "disapprove" of creating "designer birds" by interbreeding two species that would not breed together in the wild like this. I don't have an issue with "polluting the gene pool" like this

Catalinas are B&G + Scarlet, and Harlequins are B&G + GW

I know!! but seeing them fly and negotiate the house would be spectacular...!
