EVOLUTION OF THE MACAW

Macaws prefer living in dense and moist rainforests, environments which are directly affected by climate change, requiring them to adapt. Their habitat includes a variety of plants, seeds, nuts, and fruit which is the primary diet of the Macaw. They typically fly and hunt in large numbers, disorienting their prey with the colorful feathers they have. Over the span of around 3000 years, rainforests will fragmentate, increase in temperature, decrease in tree population, grow tougher nuts and seeds, decrease in animal population, and visibly have a higher sea level. These vital factors to the Macaw will force them to adapt with it, causing the bird to get more vibrant, decrease in feathers, swim with ease, hunt alone, and have sharper beaks to crack tough nuts.
