Hi everybody I'm back!!!
Back in Germany and so back on TN.

Macaws are large colorful parrots, classified into six of the many Psittacidae genera: Ara, Anodorhynchus, Cyanopsitta, Propyrrhura, Orthopsittaca , and Diopsittaca.

Status

Of the seventeen remaining species of macaw, only the Blue-and-yellow Macaw is not endangered in the wild. Five species of macaw are already extinct, and Spix's Macaw is now considered to be extinct in the wild. The Glaucous Macaw is also probably extinct, with only two reliable records of sightings in the 20th century. The greatest problems threatening the macaw population are the rapid rate of deforestation and the illegal trapping of birds for the bird trade.

Birds in captivity

Macaws eat nuts and fruit and can destroy trees, so if kept as pets they should be provided with twigs to break.

Bonding: Macaws have a long life span, claimed as 150 years in the wild and 75 years in captivity. They will bond primarily with one person - their keeper.

Other sub-bondings also take place and most macaws that are subjected to non-aggressive behavior (i.e love) will trust most humans and can be handled by even strangers if someone familiar is within eyeshot of the bird.

Hi Philip, I was wondering when you would be returning to Germany. Good to see you back. I look forward to seeing your 'perfect' photos again.
And you start with a cutie too. Love his pose as he peaks out of the hole in the wall. Super colours and details too. Well done.

What a cool photograph - and GREAT catch! I'm jealous :-). To catch a macaw in the wild is one thing, but you caught a baby. This guy's got to be about 10-12 weeks old only. His face is so young and his beak is so small still. From the looks of where he's coming out of, he might not have even taken his first flight successfully yet. Great job!
