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.
Scarlet macaws make very loud, high and sometimes low-pitched, throaty squawks, squeaks and screams designed to carry many miles to call for their groups. The scarlet macaw can live up to 75 years in captivity, although a more typical lifespan is 40 to 50 years.
