Blue and Yellow Macaw

Macaws are king-sized members of the parrot family and have typical parrot features. Their large, strong, curved beaks are designed to crush nuts and seeds. Their strong, agile toes are used like hands to grasp things. Loud, screeching and squawking voices help make their presence known in dense rain forests. They are famous for their bright colors, which seem bold and conspicuous to us. They actually blend in well with the green leaves, red and yellow fruits of the forest homes.
