In Victoria Park checking out the
Caliente Festival
Hispano, I saw this gentleman strolling through the park with a beautiful Blue and Gold Macaw (Ara
Ararauna) perched on his arm. These incredible parrots are found wild in the tropical
rain forests of Central and South America. Very trainable and quite intelligent, these birds are considered by many to be the most beautiful of all parrot species. The
International Union for
Conservation of Nature (
IUCN) classes these birds as of least concern for, except in Trinidad, they are still plentiful in the wild.
