The bald eagle is a bird of prey-that is, a flesh-eating bird. Its Latin name-Haleaeetus leucocephalus-means 'white-headed sea eagle.' It is called 'bald' because the word was used in times past to mean white or white faced.
1 There are still occasional unconfirmed local reports of Spixâs macaw sightings in Serra da Capivara National Park. 2  Spixâs macaw is relatively long-lived, estimates suggest it could reach 20 to 30 years of age in the wild.
The young macaws take four months to rear and those being hand-reared need careful weaning. These big soft cuddly babies need lots of attention and can easily become spoilt. The macaws especially the Blue and Gold Macaw make excellent pets being extremely loving in nature.They need large cages (1m wide, 1m deep, 2m tall as a minimum) giving enough space for them to stretch their wings and tall enough for them not to damage their tails.he macaws especially the Blue and Gold Macaw make excellent pets being extremely loving in nature.
