Hahn's Macaw, Besides Being Beautiful It's Considered One Of The Friendliest Pet Birds. There are many reasons to own macaws – one of the best is how beautiful these birds are. However, lots of pet owners steer clear of macaws due to their size. The good news is that Hahn's macaws tend to be a lot smaller than other options. They are only about 12 to 14 inches long yet manage to pack a ton of persona into one pint-sized package. As intelligent, playful birds, Hahn's macaws are gentle when they are socialized and handled regularly.
