Description
Macaws are long-tailed, often colorful, New World parrots. They are popular in aviculture or as companion parrots. This one was perched on its owner's shoulder and loved posing for me while I shot a series of portraits. The blue (and sometimes gold macaw) is aptly named, with a gorgeous blue body and often a dark lemon-yellow chest. This is a bird that’s hard to miss. It also referred to as the blue-and-yellow macaw. This breed of macaw has a green strip of feathers just above its black beak, and a partially naked face that will blush pink when it is excited. Its feet are dark gray or black, and it has a black “beard” of feathers just below its beak. Blue-and-gold macaws are about 35 inches long and have a wing span of up to 45 inches. They can live up to 30+ years.
