Black-capped macaw (SciiFii)

The black-capped macaw (Ara nigercephala) is a species of large macaw that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, open woodlands, and scrublands of the western United States and Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The black-capped macaw is about the size of a military macaw (Ara militaris). The black-capped macaw is known for its golden feathers on its torso, neck, and tail, as wel as having blue lower wing feathers, and the white face outlined by a thick black line. It is an omnivore that primarily feeds on insects, larvae, snails, nuts, fruits, seeds, flowers, nectar, and, occasionally, cacti flesh (in more arid reigons). Black-capped macaws make very loud, high and sometimes low-pitched, throaty squawks, squeaks and yells designed to carry many kilometers to call for their groups. Like other macaws, they are known to mimic human speech if they're raised in captivity. The black-capped macaw can live up to 75 or even 90 years in captivity, although a more typical lifespan is 40 to 50 years. The conservation status of the black-capped macaw is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the black-capped macaw's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
