Step into the world of our blue and yellow macaws and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures
The macaw is part of the parrot family, and is commonly found in Central and South America. The blue-and-yellow macaw is a large parrot that weighs about 2 pounds, and has a wingspan of 3 - 4 feet, with a tail length of 1 - 2 feet.
Its upper body is blue, while its underside is a golden yellow. The long tail feathers are primarily blue and yellow, and the chin and cheek area are pinkish-white with thin black feather lines. Juvenile macaws have dull colouration, which becomes brighter and more vibrant as they age.
Blue and yellow macaws are social birds that form tight-knit flocks in their natural habitat. They enjoy engaging in activities such as playing, bathing, and foraging for food in the forest alongside their fellow flock members.
Macaws make various loud calls, squawks, and screams that can be heard throughout the forest. These vocalisations help them mark their territory.
