Macaws, often simply called macaw parrots or by specific names such as blue and gold macaw and scarlet macaw, originate from the tropical forests of Central and South America. These birds are instantly recognisable by their strikingly vibrant plumage featuring bold blues, reds, yellows, and greens.

Temperament-wise, they are known for their high intelligence, sociability, and playful nature, making them popular pets in the UK despite their demanding care needs. Macaws thrive in environments where they receive plenty of interaction and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and behavioural issues.
