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 average lifespan of a macaw parrot is between 50 and 100 years, while the lifespan of a domestic African grey parrot is between 50 and 60 years. The African grey parrot is the second most harvested parrot in the world.
