Hyacinth Macaw

[Loi Nguyen]

This is a breeding pair of Hyacinth Macaw in the Pantanal, Brazil. The birds are threatened by the pet trade, but here in the Pantanal, it was lovely to see them everywhere.

Loi, Both birds look good and sharp. I am not familiar with their colour, so unable to comment on that. The BG is a little busy, but not much you could do about that...and it's lovely to see them in a natural habitat. The perch seems a little bright but doesn't bother me too much. Love the long tails!

Thank you for sharing!
