The Scarlet Macaw is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics, from Central America and South America, including eastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Colombia, Ecuador, Amazonian Peru and Brazil. The Scarlet Macaw resides in lowlands up to 500 metres (formerly up to 1000 metres).
FUN FACT. Scarlet Macaws are often seen in the company of other parrots, eating clay from riverbank cliffs (a behavior known as âgeophagyâ). Scientists arenât sure why parrots engage in this behavior, but itâs suspected that the clay acts as a buffer against toxins in their natural diet. 1  Few birds are as breathtaking as a Scarlet Macaw in flight. 2  Scarlet Macaws live much of their lives high in the rainforest canopies of South America. Theyâre most often found in pairs or small family groups, but will communally roost overnight in flocks of up to 50 unrelated individuals. Each macaw family maintains its own large territory, which it will move throughout in search of food and places to nest.
