The Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) is a member of the macaw group of parrots from the forests of tropical South America.
Bird experts often advise those interested in obtaining a macaw as a pet to educate themselves extensively about these birds prior to obtaining one, as they require more attention than a dog or cat.
