Scarlet Macaw 
Habitat:   humid evergreen forests in the American tropics
Size:   36" long
Weight:   2-2.5 lbs
Food:   Fruits, seeds and nectar

Description:   
The Scarlet Macaw is considered by many to be the most beautiful bird in the world. Both males and females look alike; the only difference between ages is that young birds have dark eyes, and adults have light yellow eyes. Scarlet Macaws make loud, low-pitched, throaty squawks, squeaks and screams designed to carry many miles. Scarlet Macaws can learn to mimic human language quite well, but are not among the best speakers in the Macaw family.The Scarlet Macaw can live up to 75 years in captivity and around 50 years in the wild. During the breeding season, the female lays two or three white eggs in a tree cavity. She then incubates the eggs for about 28 days, and the chicks leave the nest about 90 days after hatching and leave their parents about a year later.
