Red-crowned macaw (SciiFii)

The red-crowned macaw (Ara californianus), also known as the California macaw and the Californian macaw, is a species of large macaw that originally did not exist, but has been since created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps, forests, and open woodlands of California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon to help boost biodiversity. The red-crowned macaw is about the size of a large blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna), and resembles the blue-and-yellow macaw in coloration, but with darker blue feathers and a red capped coloration on its head, hence its name. It is an omnivore that primarily feeds on insects, larvae, snails, nuts, fruits, seeds, flowers, and nectar. Red-crowned 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 red-crowned 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 red-crowned macaw is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the red-crowned macaw's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
