You are welcome, Patricia!
In Colombia we use more the word Guacamaya, than Guacamayo.

Hi Patricia! Just as Stian suggested, this is a Blue and Yellow Macaw, not a Hyacinth Macaw, Hyacinths have cobalt blue feathers with a yellow eye ring and yellow patch of skin next to the lower bill, just like this:
