This pet has the lowest drop rate of any small pet, making it perhaps the most difficult dropped pet to farm. However, many players often mistake it as a common parrot, driving auction prices much lower than one might expect.

The Hyacinth Macaw arguably has the lowest drop rate of any dropped pet. So farming for this parrot is a tough grind. You might try farming your auction house instead. Often non-collectors will put this up for a few gold or less, not realizing its true value. A friend of mine managed to nab hers for just two gold! Then again, the odds were in her favor since she spends 80% of her time at the auction house searching for armor that doesn't make her look "fat".
