Wildlife of the Amazon
Throughout the tour, you will have the chance to see incredible wildlife, including the scarlet macaw. The adult scarlet macaw has a length of 85 cm and weighs 1,200 grams. Its striking scarlet plumage, yellow upper coverts, and blue wing feathers make it easy to identify. The species is often found in bonded pairs or small family groups in the rainforests of Peru, where it feeds on wild nuts, fruits, and flowers.
Ecology
The scarlet macaw inhabits humid forests along waterways, savannahs, and open woodlands, where it relies on nesting sites in the canopies of trees. Interestingly, they are also known to ingest large quantities of clay from riverbanks to aid in digestion.
Social Organization in the Rainforest
Scarlet macaws often form flocks of 20–30 individuals, though they usually travel in smaller family units. Within these groups, there is a clear dominance hierarchy, with higher-ranking individuals displaying various behaviors like beak gaping and wing flapping to assert their position
