About this painting: Blue and Gold Macaw, 'Rumba'
The Blue-and-Gold is one of the most familiar and popular Parrots in the world. Its habitat is the tropical forests of South America from Venezuela south to Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and Paraguay, and as far north to Panama. The Blue & Gold can reach 29 to 34 inches long and weighs in between 2 and 3 lbs. It is vivid in appearance with blue wings and tail, dark blue chin, golden under parts and a green forehead. The face is white and lined with small black feathers.
The Blue & Gold uses its powerful beak for breaking nutshells, and also for climbing up and hanging from trees. Macaws generally mate for life. It nests in a tree hole and the female typically lays two or three eggs. The female incubates the eggs for about 28 days, and the chicks fledge from the nest about 90 days after hatching. Lifespan can be 50 to 75 years and beyond. These are intelligent parrots with a gentle nature and good speaking ability. They are not endangered.
