| General characteristics |
This macaw is fairly common in the rainforests of South America, where they form large noisy flocks, keeping in contact with a range of calls from harsh squawks to piercing shrieks. As well as being accomplished flyers, they spend most of their time climbing around the tree tops, using their characterstic 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 captvity in the form of an attachment to the keeper. Eggs are incubated exclusively by the female, while the male supplies her with food during this period. The male also has a role in feeding of the babies.
