 | | The Central American scarlets, which come from lower Central America (Nicaragua, Costa Rica, portions of Honduras and Panama, and occasionally as far north as Guatemala) are certainly the largest and most spectacular scarlets that we have seen We have heard of people bragging of tail feathers up to 36 inches long. |
 | | Scarlet macaws are the most widely distributed macaws, ranging from the state of Tamaulipas on the east coast of Mexico about 100 miles from the Texas border, southward through Central America (El Salvador being the exception) and into the Amazon Basin of South America. |
 | | The scarlet macaw doesn't like the swampy areas, doesn't like the higher elevations, and it doesn't like the open plains, so it is generally confined to the dry jungle gallery forests and semi-open areas. |
