The Scarlet Macaw is a Legendary pet in Grow a Garden, introduced in the Summer Harvest Update on June 21, 2025. Known for its vibrant colors and unique ability, this pet is highly coveted by collectors and players seeking rare mutations for their fruits.
Appearance
The Scarlet Macaw has a striking and colorful design, which makes it instantly recognizable:
- Body: Predominantly red, with a sleek, bird-like build similar to a Toucan.
- Beak: Grey in color, strong, and curved.
- Eyes: Black, surrounded by a large white patch shaped vaguely like a heart.
- Crest: Red, giving the pet a majestic appearance.
- Feet: Yellow, perfect for gripping perches.

Trait and Ability
The Scarlet Macaw is most famous for its Verdant Bird ability:
- Activation: Every ~8 minutes.
- Effect Chance: 16% (this may vary slightly depending on the pet’s age).
- Ability: Mutates a nearby fruit, applying the Verdant Mutation.
- Visuals: When activated, a rainbow aura with floating feathers surrounds the pet.
- Cooldown: If there are no nearby fruits, the ability skips and the cooldown resets.
This makes the Scarlet Macaw essential for players aiming to collect Verdant Mutations, as it is the only pet in the game capable of this effect.
Trivia
- The Scarlet Macaw has a variant called the Hyacinth Macaw, which instead applies the Cloudtouched Mutation.
- In the updated Pet Menu, the Scarlet Macaw appears to have two cooldowns: one is ~8 seconds and seemingly does nothing, while the other is the normal ~8-minute Verdant Bird ability.
