Scarlet Macaw
The Scarlet Macaw is a Legendary pet introduced in the Summer Update (1.08.0). It has a 12,000 hunger and is obtainable from the Paradise Egg.
Abilities
• Verdant Bird: Every ~8 minutes, has a 16% chance to apply the Verdant mutation to a nearby fruit (chance increases with age).
• Skips ability if no fruits are nearby, restarting the cooldown.
Best Usage Strategy
The Scarlet Macaw is excellent for players aiming for Verdant mutations, which boost crop value. Its 16% chance to apply the mutation every 8 minutes makes it reliable in dense gardens with many fruits. Age it to increase mutation chances, and pair with the Capybara to maintain its hunger or the Peacock to reduce cooldowns. Avoid sparse gardens, as it skips its ability if no fruits are nearby.
