	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Macaw
		Macaws are built to fly through the trees in the forest, with a streamlined body and tail shape and wings that don’t flap deeply.
		Macaws eat a variety of ripe and unripe fruits, nuts and seeds, flowers, leaves, and stems of plants, and sources of protein like insects and snails.
		Macaw chicks are helpless and need their parents’ care until they grow their flight feathers.

	Macaw - LoveToKnow 1911
		MACAW, or, as formerly spelt, MACCAw, the name given to some fifteen or more species of large, long-tailed birds of the parrot-family, natives of the neotropical region, and forming a very well-known and easily recognized genus Ara, and to the four species of Brazilian Hyacinthine macaws of the genera Anodorhynchus and Cyanopsittacus.
		The macaws live well in captivity, either chained to a perch or kept in large aviaries in which their strong flight is noticeable.
		The sexes are 1 This serves to separate the macaws from the long-tailed parakeets of the New World (Conurus), to which they are very nearly allied.

	ANIMAL BYTES - Blue-throated Macaw
		In the wild, macaws often flock to mountains of clay known as "macaw licks".
		Macaws are extremely messy eaters - their incredibly strong beaks are perfectly adapted for eating all sorts of nuts and seeds, as seen in their ability to crack open incredibly hard-shelled nuts with ease.
		In the course of daily feeding, macaws allow plenty of seeds (while eating, as well as in their droppings) to fall to the forest floor, thus generating much of the forest growth.

		The hyacinth macaw is found primarily in riverside tropical rain forests and palm swamps.
		The hyacinth macaw is especially vulnerable to capture and habitat destruction because it is noisy, intrinsically fearless, predictable, and dependent on palm trees.
		All macaws are now listed on CITES Appendix I, except for two species which are on Appendix II and thus can be traded under limited circumstances.

	NOBLE MACAW SALE.
		Noble’s macaws are the smallest macaws and closely resemble the Aratinga conures.
		Young macaws should be socialized to many people and exposed to a variety of situations such as new cages, toys, visits to the veterinarian, handling by friends, wing and nail clips, etc. to avoid fear of novel situations.
		Macaws should be fed a formulated (pelleted or extruded) diet as a basis for good nutrition.

		The macaw population declined rapidly and within a few hundred years all the West Indian macaws were extinct.
		Eight of the sixteen species of macaws are classified as endangered and all populations of macaws are declining.

	Spix's Macaw
		The celebrated sighting created a sense of urgency that there was still a chance for the macaw to teach others of its kind its particular secrets of surviving: what seeds to eat, what animals to avoid, where to find food during drought.
		Biologists figure the blue macaw is about 14 years old, and while its breed has lived twice as long in captivity, those birds don't face the dangers and demands of the wild.
		Now the committee is contemplating putting fledgling Spix's macaws born in captivity into the maracana's nest, a risk previously unthinkable in view of their limited numbers.

	Pet Bird Large Macaw FAQ
		The Hyacinth Macaw has a massive fl beak and feet, and is covered head to foot in rich and deep Hyacinth blue, with the only other colors on the bird being a rich, vibrant yellow eye ring and a cresent shaped patch of skin around the lower mandible.

		The majority of the hyacinth macaw diet is comprised of nuts from native palms, such as acuri and bocaiuva palms (5).
		Throughout the macaw's range, habitat is being lost or altered due to the introduction of cattle ranching and mechanised agriculture, and the development of hydroelectric schemes (2).

	Macaw and Parrot Clay Licks, Manu, tambopata and other areas in Peru InkaNatura Travel (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The noise and color of 100-300 large macaws and 500-1,500 Amazon parrots and other parrots eating clay along riverbanks in the Peruvian Amazon is surely one of the world's great wildlife spectacles, but there is still quite a bit of confusion about which licks to visit and what the advantages are of visiting different licks.
		First, macaw and parrot clay licks are special deposits of clay along riverbanks or sometimes in the forest interior in the Amazon rainforest.
		Additional large macaw licks offered for visitation can be found 4-5 hours by boat from Puerto Maldonado on the Heath River (currently the most accessible of all large macaw clay licks), and on the Madre de Dios River downstream from the mouth of the Manu River.

		The extremely rare Spix Macaw of Brazil is no longer found in the wild and survives only in captivity; most of them are in a private collection in the Philippines.
		As their natural habitat disappears, it is likely that more parrot species will be saved from extinction only by captive centers, breeding programs and the efforts of concerned aviculturists.

		Both parents of the Harlequin Macaw also contribute to the striking colors of their offspring, though the father's have the dominant gene and this will influence their final appearance.
		My Harlequin Macaw is one of many with health problems and it's not a pretty site when he is sick or has a serious allergy reaction to his foods.
