Description
Scarlet Elegance
The Scarlet Macaw sports the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue in the most elegant way. They reside in the rain forests in elevations of 1000-3000 feet in Central and South America. These spectacular beauties live in pairs, family groups, and individual flocks of 30. In the wild a typical lifespan runs 40-50 years in comparison of life in captivity spanning 75 years.
The Maya regarded the macaw as a symbol of fire and solar energy because of the scarlet red feathers.
The Bororo Indians believe in a complex cycle of transmigration of souls during which they are temporarily reincarnated as macaws.
