How much does a Scarlet Macaw cost in the UK? Price guide, CITES Appendix I documentation, what's included, and comparison with other large macaws.
The Scarlet Macaw is one of the world's most iconic birds, and its CITES Appendix I status means the full UK import permit process applies. This adds cost and time relative to Appendix II species, reflected in the pricing range. Scarlets are not produced in as large numbers as Blue-and-Yellow Macaws, contributing to slightly higher prices when demand is strong.
As with all large macaws, hand-raising quality — the degree of socialisation, trust-building, and handling practice invested by the breeder before sale — is the most important quality differentiator and price driver within the range.
Beyond the purchase price, budget for the following annual and monthly costs:
Two factors: CITES Appendix I status (more complex documentation = higher cost) and generally lower production volume in European captive breeding compared to the Blue-and-Yellow Macaw.
