Blue-winged Macaw

Primolius maracana

Least Concern

The Blue-winged 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 Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil. 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.
