He looks like either a baby one of those or a cross-breed. Definetly cute though

it seems like a hahns macaw bred with a blue and gold

That looks like some unique cross breed or mutation to me.

I agree, looks like a hybrid between the Macaw species. By the way, parrots aren't classified in "breeds". There are no "breeds"; instead, there are "species" and "subspecies"

thanks (TheNzJessie)
i think he must be a red bellied macaw. he looks just like the pics i`ve seen.he`s a rescue from a friend of a friend he was given junk food (pie & chips & crisps) and was almost bald. we think he`s about 6yrs but aint to sure. he`s very untrusting but he`s coming round to me with touch training.

[TheNzJessie]

yea that would explain his feathers.

You could get him a DNA test and see wether he's a hybrid or not
