Thirty percent of the world's 9000 known bird
species exist in the Amazon rainforest.
Macaws, the largest members of
the parrot family, are so called
because they feed on the fruit of
macaw palms in their Amazon
habitat.The blue and yellow
macaw is often kept in captivity.
Although their collection from the
wild has posed a threat to their
numbers in the past, breeding
programs are largely successful.
