| General characteristics |
This Macaw comes from the rainforests of South America, where they form noisy flocks, keeping in contact with a range of calls from harsh squawks to piercing shrieks.
As well as being accomplished flyers, they spend much of their time climbing around the tree tops, using their characteristic curved beak as an extra limb to help them climb. Similarly, they will use their feet to help hold food whilst they eat.
Many Macaws pair for life, a bond which is often found in captivity in the form of attachment to the keeper. Eggs are incubated exclusively by the female, while the male provides her with food during this time. The male also has a role in the feeding of the babies.
