This picture I took with flashlight against a dusk background like I have done with the hummingbird in my last posted photo. It is a Blue & Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna)or Arara Cannindé in Brazil. My first TN picture from Zoo. Although my pleasure is to capture always in wild, this colours were attempting my lens and I just could not resist. Anyway at least it is a bird from my country, Brazil. That makes me feel better.
Something about the Arara:
The Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna), also known as the Blue-and-gold Macaw, is a member of the macaw group of parrots which breeds in the swampy forests of tropical South America from Panama south to Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay.
They can reach 76-86 cm (29.9-33.9in)long and weigh 900 to 1300 g (2-3 lbs), making them one of the biggest parrots in the world. They are vivid in appearance with blue wings and tail, golden (some might say, "butterscotch") underparts and a green cap on the head. Their beaks are jet black and very strong for crushing nuts. The Blue and yellow Macaw can live up to 60 years of age, and generally only ever form one couple for reproduction during their life. They nest at the top of tree trunks and the female generally lays two eggs. The blue-and-yellow Macaw uses it's powerful beak not only for crushing the nuts it feeds on but also for climbing up and hanging from trees. |

Beautiful portrait of this beautiful colored macaw.
Sharpness and clarity are great and the details and colors of the feathers most wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
