Blue-and-Yellow Macaw

Habitat:

Native to Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Range extends slightly into Central America, restricted to Panama. Range formerly included Trinidad, but became extinct there by 1970 as a result of human activities. A small breeding population descended from introduced birds has inhabited Miami-Dade County, Florida, since the mid-1980s.

Notes:

Had never seen these in "the wild" and didn't even have to travel to South America. Another of our many non-native residents here in South Florida. A flock of 4 loud and rambunctious individuals visited the botanical park this morning.
