Scarlet Macaw

the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is a large red yellow and blue Central and South American parrot, a member of a large group of parrots called macaws. It is native to evergreen forests of the Neotropics. Its range extends from south-eastern Mexico to Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil, the Caribbean island of Trinidad, as well as the Pacific island of Coiba. Formerly, it ranged north to southern Tamaulipas. In some areas, it has suffered local extinction because of habitat destruction, or capture for the parrot trade, but in other areas, it remains common. It is the national bird of Honduras. Like the blue-and-yellow macaw, the scarlet macaw is a popular bird in aviculture as a result of its striking plumage. 
Description
The plumage is scarlet, but the rump and tail-covert feathers are light blue, the greater upper wing coverts are yellow, the upper sides of the flight feathers of the wings are dark blue as are the ends of the tail feathers, and the undersides of the wing and tail flight feathers are dark red with metallic gold iridescence. Some individuals may have green in the wings.
There is bare white skin around the eye and from there to the bill. Tiny white feathers are contained on the face patch. The upper mandible is mostly pale horn in color and the lower is black. Juveniles have dark eyes; adults have light yellow eyes.
Scarlet macaws make very loud, high and sometimes low-pitched, squawks, squeaks and screams to call for their groups.
Behavior
A typical sighting is of a single bird or a pair flying above the forest canopy, though in some areas flocks can be seen. They may gather at clay licks. Scarlet macaws communicate through raucous honks; however, vocal communication is highly variable, and macaws are known to be adept mimics of human speech.
Feeding
Wild scarlet macaws feed on fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers and nectar.
They also love to eat insects and larvae. They are seen feeding on bugs, snails and foliage. Snails and bugs are great source of protein, as they need additional protein during breeding seasons.
Distribution and habitat
The South American range is extensive and covers the Amazon forest, extending to Peru east of the Andes, to Bolivia.[1] In Bolivia, it is very present in the Aquicuana Reserve, located in the Beni Department, near the city of Riberalta, the Capital of the Bolivian Amazon.
In Central America, the range extends from extreme eastern and southern Mexico and Panama through Guatemala and Belize, the island of Coiba and infrequently on the mainland of Panama, and in Costa Rica in isolated regions on the Pacific Coast; the Nicoya Peninsula the Carara National Park and Peninsula de Osa.
The scarlet macaw has escaped or been released in to Florida, but there is no evidence that the population is breeding and may only persist due to continuing releases or escapes.
Scarlet macaws inhabit subtropical rain forests, open woodlands, river edges, and savannas.
