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. |
