For players like me who are deeply invested in the crop mutation system, pets that can apply specific, valuable mutations are absolutely essential. The Scarlet Macaw, a Legendary pet from the Summer Update, is one of these key pets. It has the power to apply the valuable Verdant mutation, making it a prized possession for any serious farmer.

This guide will cover the Scarlet Macaw’s vibrant appearance, how its ‘Verdant Bird’ trait works, and how you can add this beautiful bird to your pet collection.
🦜 Appearance
The Scarlet Macaw has a beautiful and colorful design that closely resembles a real macaw, using a similar build to the Toucan pet. Its body is mostly a vibrant red, with a bright yellow stripe on its wings that transitions to a blue tip. It has pale yellow feet, a black beak, and white circles around its eyes.
I’ve noticed its shape is identical to its variant, the Hyacinth Macaw, but the bright red coloring makes the Scarlet Macaw truly stand out.
🌿 The ‘Verdant Bird’ Trait
The main reason I value the Scarlet Macaw is for its passive ability, Verdant Bird. This trait gives you a chance to get a rare mutation without relying on random weather events.
- Every 8 minutes, the Scarlet Macaw has a 16% chance to mutate a nearby fruit, applying the Verdant mutation.
- The chance of success can increase as the pet ages, making it more reliable over time.
- When the ability activates, the macaw is surrounded by a beautiful rainbow aura with feathers.
- A smart feature I appreciate is that if there are no fruits nearby for it to mutate, the ability is simply skipped, and the cooldown starts again, so no activation is wasted.
🥚 How to Obtain the Scarlet Macaw
The Scarlet Macaw is one of the rarer pets hatched from the Paradise Egg, making it a lucky find for any player. Here are the details:
- Obtaining Method: Hatched from a Paradise Egg.
- Hatch Chance: 8%.

- Hunger: 12,000.
