macaws
Loud jungle parrots
Macaws are large, brilliantly colored parrots native to Central and South American rainforests.
They have long tails, powerful curved beaks, and distinctive bare facial patches.
Macaws are known for their intelligence and ability to mimic human speech, making them popular—if demanding—pets: The scarlet macaw spread its wings across three feet.
