Macaws are among the most stunning species of birds. Unfortunately, the beauty of these birds sometimes comes at a price. Very heavy trapping for the wild bird trade, combined with ongoing habitat destruction, has led many macaw species to be endangered in the wild, such as the Lear’s Macaw and Blue-throated Macaw.  In fact, the increasingly rare Spix’s Macaw may already be extinct in the wild, with a world population of only 130 in captive care. Learn more about each incredible macaw species below.

Macaws’ big size and vibrant colors make them hard to overlook. These social birds can create a racket when they feel so inclined, and their clownish ways are sure to draw attention. Although their large beaks can be intimidating, a well-socialized macaw can be a friendly and affectionate companion.
