Extractions: The Scarlet Macaw ( Ara macao ) is a large type of parrot that is found in tropical rain forests of Central and South America, including Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. It lives in the canopy (the tree leaves) and emergent layer (the tops of the very highest trees) of the rainforest. Scarlet Macaws are an endangered species due to their capture as pets, and loss of habitat. These noisy, magnificent birds can fly at speeds up to 35 miles per hour (56 kph), often flying in pairs or small flocks. In captivity, Scarlet Macaws have a life span of up to 80 years. Anatomy : The Scarlet Macaw is about 35 inches (90 cm) long. The feathers are bright red with bits of yellow, orange and blue on the wings. The bill is very curved. The feet are zygodactylous; the 2 outer toes point backwards and grip in opposition to the 2 forward-pointing toes. Males and females are similar in appearance. Diet : Scarlet Macaws eat fruit, seeds, and nuts. Like other parrots, they are

Rainforest Expeditions More than a decade of studies on macaws in the rainforests of Manu and Tambopata have All macaws, except Red and Greens, use artificial nesting sites, http://www.perunature.com/topics_a.php
Extractions: The rain forests of Tambopata are home to 32 species of psittascines, including eight macaws. Of these the ones tipically seen on a trip to Tambopata Research Center are the Red-and-Green, Scarlet, Blue-and-Gold, Chestnut-fronted and Red-bellied Macaws, all of whom descend to eat clay at the lick. Present is the Blue-headed Macaw, but it is a difficult sighting, as it is rare. The Military and Noble´s macaws are also present in the reserve but not in the vicinity of TRC. Scientists from the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) initially studied the feeding and breeding habits of these three macaw species in Manu National Park. By inspecting fruit debris for tell-tale beakmarks and carrying out daylong stakeouts of selected fruiting trees, they discovered parrots and macaws eat the fruits, seeds, flowers, nectars and/or leaves of 85 species of vascular plants. In some cases macaws eat toxic seeds or unripe fruit (to get at it before other fruit-eating birds would), which in order to digest, require the ingestion of clay by parrots.

Detoxifying Strategies Of Amazon Macaws macaws are curious birds and will try to eat just about anything Charles Munn has been studying macaws for years and he asserts that many of the seeds http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/adapt/parrot.html
Extractions: T he diet of the Amazonian macaw is made up primarily of seeds. These brightly colored birds, found through the rain forests of the Amazon, dextrously pluck fruit off trees, tear it open and dig out the hard seed at the center. No seed seems to be too hard for the bill of the macaw to crack, and their diet is quite varied, from the seeds of the mahognay to those of the rubber tree. Macaws are curious birds and will try to eat just about anything resembling a seed that they can get their beak on. But this could lead to serious problems in the rain forest, where some of the deadliest poisons in the world are manufactured by its botanical inhabitants. C harles Munn has been studying macaws for years and he asserts that many of the seeds macaws eat are in fact toxic, particularly in the dry season, (August through September), when the picking are especially slim. So, how then do these birds survive this fatal fare? In his years of watching macaw behavior in the Amazon, Munn noticed that the birds spent at least two to three hours per day at a clay and mineral lick along a riverbed. He was able to identify how often birds went to the lick and how much time they spent there by using the distinctive facial markings of each bird as an identifying charcteristic. At first, Munn thought that the birds were just using the clay lick to obtain minerals their diet might not otherwise provide. But the discovery by one of his graduate students of the toxic elements in the seeds made him rethink his ideas.

Pet Bird Large Macaw FAQ Read about the different types of large macaws with this guide that discusses their value, personality, and maintenance requirements. http://www.upatsix.com/faq/lgmacaw.htm
Extractions: There is probably no other tropical bird so "tropical" as a macaw. Whether we see them on travelogues, tropical shirts or airline commericials (United airlines used a piano-playing Blue and Gold), we immediately think of lush, exotic, and far-away places. But why go far away? A macaw, aside from being colorful, can also be a loyal, loving, (if somewhat raucous) lifelong companion. Most of the macaw species tend to be five things, big and loud, and loud and big, and demanding. Even the "mini-macaws" can be loud and demanding. They are smart birds, and need attention and toys to keep them busy. The macaws are also vigorous chewers. Keep this in mind if you have heirloom furniture or small children. (I'm kidding!) But I am serious about the furniture. Chewing is the macaw's hobby. Aquiring a baby macaw is the best bet, although a number of breeders whom I talked to suggested getting a weaned baby, especially if you've never hand-fed before. But this depends on your gumption. I know of some people whose very first bird was a still-feeding macaw. Breeders are generally the safest course, because they have dealt with the birds from hatchdate on. They will also usually offer a health guarantee, advice, and help if you have problems.
