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).
Macaws are large birds with long tails often measuring 36+ inches from head to tail. Commonly kept species include the Blue and Gold, Green Wing, Scarlet, Military and Hyacinth macaws. Their average lifespan is often misquoted as 100 years, but in actuality 50 years is the normal lifespan for these magnificent birds.
