Macaws are small to large, often colourful New World parrots. Of the many different Psittacidae (true parrots) genera, six are classifed as macaws: Ara, Anodorhynchus, Cyanopsitta, Primolius, Orthopsittaca, and Diopsittaca. Macaws are native to Mexico, Central America, South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forest, especially rainforest, but others prefer woodland or savanna-like habitats.
There is no unifying characteristic which differentiates macaws from all other types of parrots. All species have a long tail, but so do conures. The bare facial patch surrounding the eye and extending to the beak is unique to macaws, but it is reduced in some species, and limited to a yellow patch around the eyes and a second patch near the base of the beak.

This portrait almost has the 'ain't I cute' caption without saying it. I love the angle of his body, the slight tilt of his head, and the amazing virbrant colors that adorn his body. This is a terrific portrait that allows me to see the tiny details.
Hello Vanessa & welcome to TN.
Excellent color and details, nice eye contact.
You handled the sunny conditions and overhead light well here, great job :)
Just a suggestion, a tiny bit less space top would be better in my opinion.
TFS!
