They have extremely long legs compared to other parrots. I have heard that baby Vasas eat like big macaws, and that a single male can have a very difficult time keeping a clutch of babies fed. Vasas are relatively rare in aviculture. A typical breeding flight is 4 X 4 X 8 feet or longer. As with Eclectus and Great-billeds, the Vasa hen is dominant.
Hens can be very aggressive and have been known to kill males.
For this reason, pairs should be watched closely, and immature males should never be paired with mature hens. Our Vasas are very active, curious birds. Although we do not know yet, we believe Vasas could be excellent pets. All rights reserved.
