Red Bellied Macaw

Origin	The Red Bellied Macaw has an extremely large range throughout the Amazon Basin of the North Region, Brazil, except in the northwest quadrant centered on a large region of the Rio Negro flowing from Colombia-Venezuela. It ranges through the Guianas including the Guiana Highlands into eastern Venezuela, the lower Orinoco River Basin and across to the island of Trinidad.
Size	This species can grow up to 19 in(48 cm)
Lifespan	Can live up to 80 years
Noise	High
Characteristics	The plumage is mostly green; much of the face is covered with bare mustard-yellow skin, and the irises are dark brown. The forehead is bluish. The chin, throat and upper chest are greyish with some green scalloping, and the lower abdomen ("belly") has a large maroon patch. The tail is long and tapered. The underwings and undertail are dull olive yellow. Adults have dark-grey beaks. The legs and feet are dark grey. In common with other parrots, they have zygodactyl feet, two toes pointing forward and two backward. Males and females have identical plumage, but males are usually larger and have larger heads. Juveniles are duller in colour than adults.
Abilities	Can talk or mimic human conversation. Some birds can remember up to 500 words.
Interaction/Time Requirements, Diet, Supplies Needed	They don't like to be in crowded spaces and will sometimes be aggressive towards other birds if they don't have enough space. A large cage is required even if the bird is going to spend lots of time out of its habitat with you. They require a warm habitat for the winter months. Do not allow your birds outdoors until all signs of frost are gone. Space is important and indoor cages should be as large as possible. Their diet in the wild consists of mainly fruits, wild figs, unripe nuts, flower and leaf buds, and some seeds. In captivity, they will eat most fruits including mangos, figs, guavas, bananas, melons, stone fruits, grapes, citrus fruits, pears, apples, pomegranate and papaya (pawpaw). You need to change food and water daily, and clean the cage at least once a week, replacing toys and broken climbing branches. Parrots do well in aviaries and cages.
Other Considerations	Macaws can also be hand reared, provided that they have a large cage and are taken out of their cage on a daily basis to prevent boredom, as it may result in the parrot pulling out its feathers to occupy itself.
