The name says it all: the Blue and Yellow Macaw is a masterpiece of color. Its back, wings, and tail are deep blue, while its chest and belly are bright yellow. This striking color combination, combined with the white skin around its eyes and the powerful black beak, makes it unmistakable.

More than just a pretty face

Behind the beautiful appearance of the blue and yellow macaw lies an intelligent and social animal. They live in groups and communicate with each other through loud calls and body language. Their powerful beak enables them to crack nuts and seeds, their favorite food.

A life in the rainforest.

They prefer areas with tall trees, where they nest in cavities and forage for food. However, their habitat is threatened by deforestation and the illegal trade in exotic animals.

Although the Blue and Yellow Macaw is not yet considered endangered, their numbers in the wild are declining. Deforestation, illegal trade and hunting for their feathers are the biggest threats. It is crucial that we work to protect these beautiful birds and their habitat, so that future generations can enjoy their presence.
