The light red macaw is known for its beautiful feathers that light up in powerful colors. The bird is a beautiful and very striking appearance. But in the rainforest, where he belongs, he is completely absorbed in the colors of the green leaves and the variegated fruits. Aside from fruits, he also loves Brazil nuts, the hard shells of which he can effortlessly break open with his beak. You often see the scarlet macaws on the bank of a river licking clay.
