Yellow and Blue Macaw
I took these photos of beautiful Macaw last July in our local Meadowville garden centre. I just love the combination of blue and yellow color.

The Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna), also known as the Blue-and-gold Macaw, is a member of the group of large Neotropical parrots known as macaws. It breeds in forest (especially varzea, but also in open sections of Terra Firme) and woodland of tropical South America from Trinidad and Venezuela south to Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and Paraguay. It barely extends into Central America, where restricted to Panama. It is an endangered species in Trinidad, and is on the verge of being extirpated from Paraguay, but still remains widespread and fairly common in a large part of mainland South America. There is also a breeding population in Miami-Dade County, USA.[1] It is therefore listed as Least Concern by BirdLife

Gorgeous photos, well done! Thanks for sharing!
Pretty pretty bird!
I love especially the close up of his her? face. Amazing.
Thank you all for the lovely comments!
I´m not fond of birds so this is the closest I ever been one I think
Nice photo of a bird who seems to have an attitude. Ha. The way his head is cocked in the first photo…looks like he has is hands (if he had any) clasped behind his back.
What a beautiful bird! Love his beautiful colors!
…he is indeed beautiful!
He looks as if he really enjoys posing for the camera! What a great model!
He looks very intelligent, and also somewhat mischievous.
I agree with Wren, looking at that second to the last shot. Beautiful but mischievous!
Birds can be such characters and you certainly captured some great looks. Adorable.
All that talking and interacting parrots do — it makes you wonder just what goes on in their brain, doesn’t it?
