Anastasia - Blue and Gold Macaw

Anastasia - Blue and Gold Macaw by Anne-Marie Bloor

Blue and Gold Macaws can live up to 80 years of age. They are found in forests and swamps in Eastern Panama through Columbia, Ecuador, and Brazil

Here are some fun facts:

• Macaws are often monogamous, remaining bonded for life. They are often seen flying in large flocks and the bonded pairs fly close together, their wings nearly touching.
• When disturbed, these bright birds screech loudly and circle overhead with their long tails streaming.
• Macaws are playful and inquisitive and are able to mimic human voices very well.
• 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.
• Macaws are able to reach speeds of up to 56 kph (35 mph).
