Coco

Close-up of a scarlet macaw with vivid red feathers and a large curved beak.

The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is a large yellow, red and blue parrot native to humid evergreen forests of the Americas

It is the national bird of Honduras.

In some areas, it has suffered local extinction because of habitat destruction, or capture for the parrot trade, but in other areas, it remains fairly common. Like its relative the blue-and-yellow macaw, the scarlet macaw is a popular bird in aviculture as a result of its striking plumage.
