MACAWS

Pafos Zoo > Animals > Birds > PARROTS > MACAWS

MACAWS

Macaws are native to Mexico, Central America,South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forests, especially rainforests, but others prefer woodland or savannah-like habitats. Their large, dark (usually black) beaks, and relatively bare, light coloured, facial patch areas distinguish macaws. A macaw’s facial feather pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.

Some of the macaw species are known for their impressive size. The largest parrot in length and wingspan is the Hyacinth Macaw. The heaviest macaw is the Buffon’s. Here at Pafos Zoo we have over 11 different species of Macaw.

During our daily show some of our cleverer macaw show you some of their amazing skills and abilities. Its also a good place to learn more about this beautifully coloured birds.
