Blue-and-Gold Macaw coloring page

Today I drew for you a Blue-and-Gold Macaw

that we saw at the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, Utah.

Blue-and-Gold Macaw

The Blue-and-Gold Macaw is a large member of the parrot family. It lives in the wilds of both Central America and South America. It has a wingspan of over 3 feet 6 inches. The large beak is used for cracking nuts. They usually eat palm nuts, seeds, fruits, and other nuts found in the tropical rainforest. Sometimes the Gold-and-Blue Macaws will eat snails, grasshoppers, and other insects that they more or less accidentally find. So the Blue-and-Gold Macaw is mostly an herbivore, but sometimes a carnivore... hence it is technically an omnivore. 

These birds are very social and loud. They live in large flocks or in pairs. They can live for up to 35 years in the wild and 60 years in captivity. By the way, they also browse on bark and leaves. They even eat some clay to help them deal with the toxins found in some unripe seeds. 

I should add that these are beautiful birds. They are mostly a brilliant blue with a yellow front and yellow under the wings. THIS drawing is of one of these birds from an angle where you can't see much of the yellow. Below is the photo of the Blue-and-Gold Macaw from the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, Utah. The photo inspired the coloring page drawing.
