What makes a macaw unique?
What makes a macaw unique? Macaws are king-sized members of the parrot family with typical parrot characteristics. Their large, powerful, curved beaks are designed to crush nuts and seeds. Their strong, agile toes act as hands, grasping objects. In dense rainforests, loud, screeching, and squawking voices help them be heard. They are also known for their vibrant colors, which appear bold and out of place to us but actually blend in with the green leaves, red and yellow fruits, and bluish shadows of the forest homes.
