📸✨ Did you know this about Scarlet Macaws? 🦜🇨🇷
Scarlet Macaws (Ara macao) are more than just beautiful — they’re incredibly smart and loyal too! Here are a few fascinating facts you probably didn’t know about these colorful Costa Rican icons:
🔹 They mate for life 💕 — once they find a partner, they stay together forever.
🔹 They can live up to 40-50 years in the wild, and even longer in protected environments!
🔹 Scarlet Macaws are among the few parrot species that use their feet like hands to grab food and climb.
🔹 Their loud squawks are not just noise — it's how they communicate across the rainforest canopy.
🔹 Once endangered in Costa Rica, their populations are recovering thanks to conservation efforts — especially in places like the Osa Peninsula and Carara National Park.
