Of the many different parrots, six are classified as Macaws. Macaws are native to Central America and Mexico, South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forests, especially rainforests, but others prefer woodland or savannah-like habitats.
Proportionately larger beaks, long tails, and relatively bare, light-coloured facial patch areas distinguish macaws from other parrots. Sometimes the facial patch is smaller in some species, and limited to a yellow patch around the eyes and a second patch near the base of the beak. A Macaw's facial feather pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.
The largest macaws are the Hyacinth, Buffon's (great green) and Green-winged macaws. The smallest member of the family, the red-shouldered macaw, is no larger than some parakeets.
