Sexing
Mature birds can be sexed by the eye colour, males have black eyes and females brown.

Feeding
Commercially available large parrot mix together with fruits and vegetables. Tree banches should also be placed in their aviaries as these large birds love to chew.

Housing
An aviary of at least 3.6 meters long by 2 meters high and 2 meters wide is probably the minimum size to keep and breed each pair.

Breeding
Breeding season is from August through to January(spring to mid summer). 2-4 eggs are laid, and hatch about 30 days later. Fledging occurs arounnd 6 weeks of age.
