Description
The Red Macaw | Fine Art Photograph by Colleen Kammerer
They're big and beautiful. Macaws are easily recognizable for their distinct colorful markings. These birds are part of the parrot family. They can be extremely entertaining which is why many live their lives entertaining people in zoos and carnivals! Macaws have also been kept as pets for hundreds of years, and will likely be popular for years to come. However, make sure you are up to the task--these birds can live for nearly 100 years!! Some Macaw species, such as Blue and Gold Macaws can for an average of 60 years, and many have been recorded to live for up to 80 years or even more. For this reason, those who are interested in adopting a Macaw are strongly cautioned to make sure that they are willing to commit a large amount of time to caring for their pet. It is not at all uncommon for these birds to outlive their owners. Many Macaw owners make special provisions for these pets, as to who will be their caretakers in their wills!!
