Macaws are arguably one of the brightest, most vibrantly coloured parrot species in the rainforest. Their feathers resemble a rainbow-like pattern, making them stand-out against the green forest. Their feathers are also waterproof, which means that when it rains the water runs off their feathers and they dry quicker, meaning they do not get cold.

Macaws have a sharp, curved beak which enable them to crush and break open the shells of foods and nuts which they like to eat. They also use their feathers to preen themselves, picking off bits of dirt trapped in the feathers.

Macaws have very dexterous claws. They are used for a variety of things. One of these is gripping, like human hands, onto things. They hold onto or pick up things such as nuts, and also use them to hold onto branches, and for general stability.

Macaws also have a long line of feathers which extend downwards, like a tail. They are like this to help them balance in the tall trees and in flight.
