Ara macao

Also known as Red-and-Yellow Macaw, Red-and-Blue Macaw, Red-Breasted Macaw

Scarlet macaws are spectacular, highly social parrots known for their brilliant plumage and loud, raucous calls that echo through the rainforest canopy. They form monogamous pairs that remain together for life, often seen flying side-by-side with their wings almost touching. These intelligent birds play a vital ecological role by dispersing large seeds across their vast forest habitats.
