Macaws: Rainbow of the Jungle

Macaws, with their vibrant feathers and striking intelligence, are among the most recognizable parrots in the world. In reserves, they are given large aviaries and access to natural forests, where they can fly freely and display their natural behaviors.

Macaws are highly social and form lifelong bonds with their mates. Reserves ensure they have access to fruits, nuts, and seeds, their primary diet, and create safe nesting sites for breeding. Conservation programs focus on protecting macaws from deforestation and the illegal pet trade, which are the main threats to their populations.

Through breeding programs and public education, reserves highlight the role of macaws in their ecosystems, such as seed dispersal, and emphasize the importance of preserving their habitats.
