Distressingly quiet macaws as soon as you enter Malacca/ Melaka zoo

            A pair of couple of bored Blue and Yellow Macaws seen just as I entered the  Malacca/ Melaka zoo. These birds are generally quite vocal but I was surprised to see them so passive and quiet. Macaws are native to Central America, Mexico, South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most Macaw species are forest dwellers, but certain species seem to prefer woodland or savannah- like habitats. Macaw's facial feather patterns are unique to each individual bird, just like fingerprints to humans. Macaws are primarily vegetarian and generally have a plant based diet consisting of mainly seeds, nuts, fruits, palm fruits, leaves, flowers, and stems. The majority of Macaws species are now endangered in the wild with a few even extinct. (Malacca/ Melaka, Malaysia, Sept. 2023)
