The fascinating bird that has been drawing adventurers' interest in Crimson Desert since the latest update is the Hyacinth Macaw, which sports flamboyant plumage. Let's see how to tame this famous bird, where to find it and how to win it over.

Where to find the Hyacinth Macaw

You can find the Hyacinth Macaw in the region in Crimson Desert, at the Giant's Court outpost next to the Red River. You must first liberate the Wolf Trackers camp for it to become accessible before taming it. Once the area is liberated, head to the edges of the cliffs, where the bird is likely to land. Before any taming attempt, don't forget to stock up on fruit and other foods enjoyed by the Macaw.

Preparation and favorite food

To encourage the Hyacinth Macaw to appear, you need to place a Sotdae on the cliffs. Waiting is usually an important step, until the mischievous bird is willing to land on it.

The Hyacinth Macaw has very specific criteria when it comes to its food. It's certainly possible to feed it all sorts of food, but some are more effective than others:

Desert melons: this is THE Macaw's favorite food. You can buy them from merchants in Tomasso or in the Crimson Desert region.
Insects and fruit: these foods can also be used, but are less effective than melons.

Taming tactics

The Macaw needs to have its favorite food. The more it eats, the stronger the relationship with it becomes. You need to observe the bird's behavior, and once it feels reassured, you can move forward to tame it.

Notes

Other birds may come and steal the food left out, which delays the process. Don't despair if the Macaw doesn't land right away, as it can sometimes take several attempts.
