How much would a breeding pair of hyacinth macaws cost?

I have seen estimates upwards of $80,000 for a pair of breeding hyacinth macaws, banded as bred in captivity, in the USA.

They are highly endangered in the wild and are not the best of breeders in captivity. They are very large birds who need large flight cages. They are very intelligent birds and need a great amount of care when they are babies, and the care is longer than most all other birds. Properly weaned and trained, it can take a year to raise one baby hyacinth macaw.
