The Scarlet Macaw is known for its magnificent plumage that glows in bright colors. It is not only beautiful but it is also very noticeable. In its home, the rain forest, however, he just blends in with the green leaves and colorful fruits. Its favorite foods include not only fruits but also Brazil nuts, of which it breaks the hard shell easily with its beak. You can often see Scarlet Macaws how they lick clay on riverbanks. The clay renders toxins in unripe fruit harmless and for the macaw it works as a home remedy for stomach aches.
