Description

The Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is a large, colourful parrot. It is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics, from extreme eastern Mexico locally to Amazonian Peru and Brazil, in lowlands up to 500 meters (at least formerly up to 1000m). It has been widely extirpated by habitat destruction and capture for the pet trade. Formerly it ranged north to southern Tamaulipas. It can still be found on the island of Coiba. It is also the Honduran national bird. Thank you for looking, as always any comments or suggestions welcome 8~) **Best Viewed Full Size**
