EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Hyacinth macaw, also known as Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, perched inside a nesting box. As the largest parrot in the world, this magnificent bird measures up to a meter long with an impressive wingspan of 1.5 meters. Its vibrant blue feathers and powerful bill make it an extraordinary sight to behold. Native to central South America, particularly wetlands and riverside forest edges in regions like the Pantanal in Brazil, this herbivorous creature primarily sustains itself on nuts which it skillfully cracks open using its robust beak. Fruits and other plant materials also contribute to its diet. The image perfectly captures the essence of this tropical avian species against a backdrop of lush greenery. The Hyacinth macaw's choice of nesting box as its temporary abode is evident from its comfortable perch within the tree hole. Photographed by DR P. MARAZZI for Science Photo Library, this stunning portrayal highlights not only the beauty but also offers insight into the biological aspects of these remarkable creatures that thrive in their natural habitat. It serves as a reminder of nature's wonders and encourages us to appreciate and protect our diverse wildlife found throughout South America's Amazon region.
