macawMacaw is the most intelligent bird in a bird world.  The position of their intelligences among the birds is equal with the chimpanzee in the monkey family.  Macaw is the biggest body size of cockatoo bird member and life in the United States.  Most of this elegant bird life in the rain forest but there are several type which is living at Savana Desert and scrub forest.

More than a half of 16 species of Macaw threatened their life because of the illegal bird trading and the damage of their environment caused of world development.  A  strict quota, penalty and monitoring would help to manage of international trading of macaw and another animal which is listed in The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Both in cage or in the outdoors, Macaw have a longevity.  The large type of Macaw can reach the age of 65 years.  Macaw is known with their high ability in using their body as shown through the use of claw and tongue to hold and rotate the food.  Some of fruits and flower that they eat contain a seed toxic that help dropped the Macaw from predator.   This bird are not affected by this toxic cause they consume a number of clay that also as a mineral supplier for them.

The sturdy Red-Green Macaw is the biggest type.  His weight about 3 pounds (1.35 kg) and the length of body, from head to foot about 3 feet ( 1 meter).  The Red-Green Macaw, Blue-Yellow Macaw and the red one have the most powerful bite among the birds.

I do concern about the sustainability of living creatures, especially a rare animal.  They are a biodiversity that we have to protect.  So, let’s avoid them from extinction.
