Blue and yellow macaw

Blue and yellow macaw

Scientific name: Ara ararauna
Situation in the wild: Danger of extinction
Jerusalem zoo:

The species is very common among hobbyists and due to capture for sale its numbers are declining. Charlie, a blue & yellow macaw, holds the parrot longevity record. Charlie is 104 and still likes to curse the Nazis, using words he learnt from one of his former owners, which legend claims to be Sir Winston Churchill.
