Blue-throated Macaw
Ara glaucogularis
Critically EndangeredThe Blue-throated Macaw is a large, long-tailed parrot that travels in pairs or noisy flocks, feeding on palm nuts, seeds, fruit, and mineral-rich clay licks in Pantanal, Chaco, and adjacent dry forests. It usually nests in tree cavities or cliff holes and may make local movements as food trees fruit or flower. Fun fact: many parrots use strong hooked bills and zygodactyl feet together like a climbing-and-feeding toolkit.
