A wild Scarlet Macaw seems to waving hello from the canopy of Costa Rica's rainforest. These large, beautiful birds are very shy and for good reason, our guide told us they fetch as much as $2000 on the black market illegal pet trade.

A Macaw can live up to 75 years in captivity, although a more common age is 40-50 years in the wild. A mating pair may remain monogamous for their entire life. They are a very cool and intelligent bird.

Beautiful! As he should be in the wild.
The exotic pet trade is an evil beyond belief.
