|
- At times the macaw is a monogamous bird!
When seen in flocks, the couples stay together even when flying!
- Nests are made in holes of dead palm trees!
The young leave the nest at about 3 months old!
- As with almost all parrots, the beak is used
as a "third foot"! A macaw can literally suspend itself from his beak for
more than a minute without apparent discomfort!
