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.
Large macaws (other than a Hyacinth macaw) â 15 to 24 weeks. Hyacinth macaw â 30 to 35 weeks. Small macaws â 11 to 15 weeks. Parrotlets â 6 to 8 weeks. Pionus parrots â 11 to 13 weeks. Senegal parrots â 10 to 11 weeks. Toucans â 7 to 9 weeks. Exactly what age a bird weans at varies, depending on a number of factors.Parent-reared chicks usually wean more slowly than hand-fed babies, and birds in the wild typically take longer to wean than birds bred in captivity.n general, smaller bird species wean at an earlier age than larger birds, and softbills wean sooner than most psittacines. Some average weaning age ranges for bird species kept as pets are: African grey parrots â 12 to 14 weeks.
