Macaws are one of the world’s most colorful birds
A macaw’s unique appearance is akin to a human fingerprint. Ranging in color from the brightest red through to turquoise, yellow and bright indigo, these birds are a sight to be seen. What’s amazing is that each bird’s coloring is distinct to where they live and their vibrant colors actually blend quite well with the Amazon’s rainbow-colored plants and foliage.
2. Macaws fall in love and stay that way
Unlike the vast majority of animals, once macaws find a mate, they tend to stay together for the rest of their lives. They raise their babies together, groom one another and can be seen flying so close to one another it’s as if they are holding hands…we mean, wings.

3. While macaws range drastically, in terms of size, they are the world’s largest parrots
There are more than 350 types of parrots and macaws are the largest of them all. Weighing up to four-ish pounds with lengths of more than three feet, macaws are extremely sizable for birds. Not to mention their gorgeous wings can span up to five feet – or 60 inches.

4. Macaws can live for a long time
By animal kingdom standards, macaws are a long-lived bird. While living in the wild, their average lifespan is around 60 years. However, under the right conditions, they can live up to 100 years. Domesticated macaws often have to be put in their owner’s will because they may outlive them!

5. They can mimic human speech
Not to be confused with talking per say, but macaws are celebrated worldwide for their ability to copy their human counterparts. These amazing creatures can be taught words and encouraged to practice until they can repeat them perfectly. Even wild macaws use very specific clicks to communicate with one another, and they are very advanced in terms of their vocal learning centre.
6. In keeping with their vocals, macaws can be very loud
These social butterflies love to hang out in large flocks. When you get up to 100 macaws together, their loud calls come together to make quite a racket. As they communicate with one another, macaws can be heard throughout the jungle.
7. They call the tropical rainforest home
Although they can be found in woodland and savannah areas, Macaws prefer to live in dense forests such as Mexico’s lush rainforests or the Amazon in Brazil.

8. Their beaks are extremely strong
Used for eating or as a means of force during an altercation, macaws’ beaks are not only distinct in appearance, but they are very strong. Some macaws can even use their beaks to crack coconut shells, which if you have ever tried to do with a hammer, you will understand how impressive that is.

9. Macaws’ tongues are very unlike ours
Not only are macaws’ tongues scaly and dry, but they actually have a bone in them. This bone is used for tapping into fruits, so while it’s a little strange to us, it’s very useful to them.
10. Their wings are not just aesthetically appealing
Macaws put their wings to good use and they can fly up to 15 miles each day in search of food.

🐦 El tordo sargento (Agelaius phoeniceus), también conocido como Sargento Alirrojo, Tordo Alirrojo, Tordo Capitán o Turpial Alirrojo, es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Icteridae. Es un pájaro de hábitos migratorios que habita en zonas húmedas y terrenos de cultivo de América del Norte y Central.
Y que rol tienen esos vistosos listones rojos en los hombros?Estas manchas son vitales en la defensa del territorio. Los machos con las manchas más grandes son más efectivos al ahuyentar a sus rivales no territoriales y tienen mayor éxito en contiendas dentro de aviarios.
⚠️ Quizá sea el ave nativa más abundante de América del Norte, con una población estimada de ciento noventa millones de individuos para 1974 solo en Estados Unidos, por lo que ha sido clasificado como especie bajo preocupación menor. Sus poblaciones crecieron enormemente a mediados del siglo XX

This was a wren that I captured one afternoon that was eyeing up some bird feed from a nearby thorny shrub. Using the 300mm lens allowed me to get a really nice depth of field effect.

I noticed this red kite flying flying in a nearby field today, and I was lucky to have it fly right past me. I love the shape of its wings and forked tail, as well as the feathers under the wings.

Mallards are large ducks with hefty bodies, rounded heads, and wide, flat bills. Like many “dabbling ducks” the body is long and the tail rides high out of the water, giving a blunt shape. In flight their wings are broad and set back toward the rear.Male Mallards have a dark, iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill. The gray body is sandwiched between a brown breast and black rear. Females and juveniles are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing.

Alectrurus risora | Strange-tailed Tyrant.
Es una especie endémica de los Esteros del Iberá del noreste de Argentina y del este de Paraguay. Prefiere pastizales inundados con pastos altos y no perturbados.
La hembra tiene la cabeza y dorsal, pardas ocráceas, la garganta blanquecina. Franja ocre en el pecho. Región ventral ocrácea. Alas pardas y ocres. Cola parda y ocre, con dos plumas negras alargadas, estructuralmente como en el macho, pero prácticamente reducidas al raquis y que terminan en pequeñas raquetas.
At first glance, it looks like this little Eurasian blue tit is shouting a greeting or singing a song. Look closer, and you'll see it has actually just snapped up a fresh spider for breakfast! captured this split-second moment while watching the Blue tit hunting actively among the shoreline reeds.
