The Blue and Gold Macaw is a New World parrot that also goes by its other name, the Blue and Yellow Macaw. From the Ara genus of the Macaw family, these large birds are native to South America and spread across large parts of the Amazon rainforest. They are a companion parrot and will bond closely with their human owners and have become popular as pet birds. Their natural habitat is the rainforest and so they are suited to warm, humid conditions. Large in size, they are around 80 to 90 cm long thanks to their tail feathers, their weight is likely to be 900 grams to 1.3kg. There is not much difference in the appearance between a male and female of this species and so DNA testing may be required to determine gender.
