The blue macaw lives mainly in rainforests in South America, nesting in swampy and riparian areas. They grow to be 81-91.5 cm long and weigh 0.9-1.8 kg, with a wingspan of 104-114 cm. Blue macaws eat plants, nuts, grains, and insects. They migrate when temperatures change and make loud noises when in danger or mating, though they are usually found in pairs or flocks. The blue macaw lays eggs and has appeared in movies such as Rio.
