Scarlet macaws are strikingly beautiful birds native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. These large parrots are characterized by their vibrant red feathers, accentuated with yellow and blue wings, creating a stunning visual display. Known for their intelligence and social nature, scarlet macaws often travel in pairs or small flocks, forming strong bonds with their mates. Their diet primarily consists of fruits, nuts, and seeds, which they forage for in the treetops.
