Macaw Parrot - Belize City, Belize - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

One of the most magnificent indigenous avian species of Belize, the scarlet macaw is perhaps one of the most recognizable birds in the world.

Featured in nearly every pirate movie ever made, the scarlet macaw is a large, multicolored bird with bright red, yellow, and blue plumage. Averaging around 35 inches (89cm) from head to tail feather, the scarlet macaw thrives in the rainforests of Belize.

A member of the parrot group of bird species, the scarlet macaw often flies in large groups, up to 200 birds or more, particularly in and around southern Belize where they now thrive due to intense conservation and protection policies. Once hunted nearly to extinction due to their prize value as pets and encroachment on their territory, scarlet macaws are now a source of tourism.

The inscription reads: "Macaw Parrot made of mahogany, Belize".
