Blue and Yellow Macaw. Ara ararauna. It is perhaps the best known of all parrots. The Amazon Parrot is native to Latin America and has a green plumage that covers almost the entire body. It adapts easily to a life of captivity and in contact with other specimens of their species. Care is a pet for life. They are very long-lived birds, which have been extreme cases of animals that have survived to age 70 or 90 years. The Amazon Parrot or Blue-fronted Parrot was already described in 1758 by Linnaeus. This is the most imported rider class. The Amazon Parrot can be found from Brazil to Paraguay, Bolivia and northern Argentina. In nature lives in primary and secondary forests, wetlands or forests of palm trees. They live in groups with a leader, and establish social bonds between them. At dawn large flocks of these birds leave the security of the thick jungle, which have been used as protection during the night and move in search of food. During the flight we can distinguish couples flock already formed, because fly together within the group. Moreover, although there are always exceptions, are thought to be monogamous.
