The Macaw Parrot

The parrot in the picture is a macaw, a big parrot that lives in the rainforests of South America. Macaws are famous for their vivid colors and long tails. In the future, as the climate warms up, the rainforests of South America will be drier and hotter. This will make it more difficult for macaws to find food and water. Therefore, macaws can develop their beaks longer so that they are able to reach food in crevices, and the leathery pads on feet so that they are able to walk in hot sand, and their feathers become sandy-brown so they are able to blend into the desert environment. The macaw in the picture is an example of how animals can accommodate the changing climate in the future. With the changing climate, animals will need to accommodate for survival.
