Macaws are beautiful, brilliantly colored members of the parrot family.
There are 17 different species of macaw found in the rainforests of South America. Many of the different macaw species are today considered to be endangered animals.
Macaws are intelligent, social birds that often gather in flocks of 10 to 30 individuals. Their loud calls, squawks, and screams echo through the forest canopy. Macaws vocalize to communicate within the flock, mark territory, and identify one another. Some species can even mimic human speech.
