Burbank - Male Macaw

BurbankGreen-winged Macaw Ara chloropteraGreen-winged Macaw Ara chloropteraThere is one phrase to describe Burbank Big wings Not only is Burbank a truly large male Green-winged Macaw but when presented with the term Big wings Burbank will literally stretch wide and display his magnificent colors. The species Green-winged Macaw is one of the largest with an average weight between 1 200- 1 400g. These large statured birds are native to Eastern Panama and much of tropical South America. Though the Green-wing s distribution is wide their numbers are not numerous their declining populations in the natural environment are most attributed to deforestation and trapping. There is no better way to help preserve the natural existence of the Green-Winged Macaw than to consider providing a home for one already socialized and adjusted to captivity and spread awareness about how wonderful these creatures are as individuals and as a species.At The Gabriel Foundation Burbank spends most of his day with his best bud Pele an equally magnificent Catalina Macaw. This duo can be found in their 48 by 32 outdoor aviary socializing in a flock environment with several other Blue and Gold Macaws. Burbank came to The Gabriel Foundation on April 12th 2008 after living in a private home for 8 years he is now approximately 14 years old. Because Burbank has spent parts of his life alone in a home as well as living in a social flock environment he has much to express. Not only is he great with human interaction and interested in learning he also never forgets what it is to be a large South American Macaw. With a healthy sense of respect a patient and diligent attitude from a human caregiver any macaw-loving individual could provide a great home for this big winged character.
