Scarlet Macaw

The present-day Scarlet macaw lives in the tree canopy of Central and South American rainforests. Their colorful vibrant feathers may not seem suitable for camouflaging, but they have reasons for adapting this way. They use their colors to warn predators into thinking they are poisonous. This technique is useful because many vibrant animals are poisonous. Lastly, Scarlet Macaws are social, curious creatures who live in large groups. In the future, Scarlet macaws will adapt to their constantly shifting environment. The environment is different due to climate change and the paper industry’s destruction of tropical rainforests. In the picture depicted you will see the macaws digging burrows underground with the claws they adapted. They also adapted to fit into smaller places by becoming smaller and needing less food. The darker colors are to blend into their new environment. Their personality will also change as they will become more shy and elusive.
