The green macaw is critically endangered so it was a real privilege to see several pairs fly and feed in the wild! They are very large birds, very loud and colorful with a huge personality. They hardly ever stop moving so taking photos was a challenge but look at those magnificent feathers!

(didn't do a friend link because i have been educated on how hard it is to use, ugh but i'll add it as a reply for anyone who wants to give it a try)

A pair of exotic Blue and Gold Macaws are seen in flight through the dense jungle foliage in this original digital art creation. Not Ai art.
