Description
Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao, Psittaciformes: Psittacidae) The Scarlet Macaw, an iconic Psittacine of the Neotropics, once ranged from Mexico to Bolivia. As with most macaws, the Scarlet Macaw’s range is now fragmented and reduced due to habitat destruction and intense poaching for the pet trade. Ideal Scarlet Macaw nesting cavities are found in stable living trees, located as far from the ground as possible, and in close proximity to potential guardians. Low cavities are most susceptible to poaching and/or arboreal threats such as the Black Iguana (Ctenosaura similes), the common opossum, (Didelphis marsupialis), and monkey vandalism. The Scarlet Macaw has been used effectively as a flagship species to promote conservation and environmental education in Costa Rica. One of the most brilliantly beautiful tropical birds is definitely the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao). Its loud, raucous squawks carry for miles, so usually you hear them before you see them. When you do sight a Scarlet Macaw in the wild, they are breathtaking – fire engine red bodies with sunshine yellow and royal blue wing feathers tinged with a bit of green, and a distinct stark white patch around both eyes. In Costa Rica, they live in dry, moist, and wet tropical lowland forests along the Pacific Coast where large mature trees provide nesting and food of nuts, fruits and flowers.
