upatsix.com - Your Source For Pet Bird Information

Today we received a wonderful video from Carlos Esteban Lara Vásquez who studies the macaws of Medellin for us. The video was gracefully made availble by Carolina Gomez. In the video you can see 5 macaws enjoying some fruit on a tree after which they take flight. From the flight pattern you could deduct that their is one pair of Scarlet macaws (Ara macao). These are the birds that fly parallel and synchronised to each other. They are more loosely followed by what might be their offspring. This supports the notion that the macaws have successfully been reproducing within their city habitat. The two other birds are more loosely associated. One of the birds is a green-winged macaw (Ara chloroptera). The first of its kind to be recorded in Medellin!
