Scarlet Macaws (Ara macao) are among the most iconic birds in Costa Rica, known for their dazzling red, blue, and yellow feathers. They are large birds, measuring around 33 inches (84 cm) in length, with broad wings that allow them to glide effortlessly through the rainforest canopy. Their intelligence and social nature make them fascinating to observe. Macaws often fly in pairs or small groups, displaying intricate aerial maneuvers and calling out in loud, distinctive squawks that echo through the forest. Their playful behavior includes engaging in aerial displays, feeding on nuts and fruits, and nurturing their young with great care. An endangered species, the Scarlet Macaw live in tropical forests from Mexico to South America. According to Macaw Recovery Network, about 2000 live in Costa Rica. It´s cousin, the Great Green Macaw, is listed as critically endangered. In Costa Rica there are only about 300 and can be spotted on the Caribbean coast.
