Photo made by Dominiek Plouvier and below one made by Foek Chin Joe, also in Suriname.
A short soundtrack of the red-bellied macaw was recorded by Ribot. The bird can be recognised by its red belly and the yellow on its cheeks. This macaw is often found near stands of the Mauricius Palm (Ite, the leaves you can see on the picture below). It likes its fruits and sometimes has its nest in one of these palms.
Observations of this macaw, often seen in groups of between 15 and 30 birds, usually near stands of palms (Mauritia flexuosa, as in the photo, found especially in wet places in the savannabelt), where it also finds breeding opportunities.
