In South America, the species is found as far south as northeastern Argentina. Ara macao is most common throughout the Amazon basin. Size of average adult length: 3 feet head to tail weight: 2 - 2.5 pounds. Tail feathers of males may be longer than females. Also, bills of males may be slightly larger. Scarlet macaws are brightly colored birds with feathers ranging in color bands from scarlet on their head and shoulders, to yellow on their back and mid wing feathers and blue on the wing tips and tail feathers. The face has short white feathers. Breeding in Ara macao occurs about every one to two years. The clutch size is 2 to 4 white, rounded eggs with an incubation period of 24 to 25 days. Females mainly incubate the eggs. After hatching, the young may stay with their parents for one to two years. The male feeds the young by regurgitating and liquefying. The parents will not raise another set of eggs until the previous young have become independent. Scarlet macaws reach sexual maturity at three or four years of age. Large macaws may live up to 75 years in captivity. Typical lifespans in the wild and in captivity are closer to 40 to 50 years. Macaws are mostly found in pairs either in their nests or flying together. Once paired with a mate, they are rarely found alone except to feed when one bird must incubate the eggs. Scarlet macaws primarily eat fruit and nuts, and will occasionally supplement their diet with nectar and flowers. Scarlet macaws occasionally consume clay found on the banks of rivers. This aids in digestion of the harsh chemicals such as tannins that are ingested when eating premature fruit. |
