📖 1. Overview

The Scarlet Macaw is a large parrot of the high rainforest canopy in Central and South America, with a scarlet head and shoulders, yellow back and mid-wings, and blue wingtips and tail.

The face has short white feathers and pale yellow eyes. The long, heavy bill is pale on the upper mandible and black on the lower, and the long tail makes up between 1/3 and half of the total length.
