We went to an area in Costa Rica where a woman had several macaws. They were not in captivity and cold fly away at any time, but they also knew she put out peanuts for them every day. Because they had been there for so long many mated and ended up with a hybrid bird that is not the native/natural looking macaw. In the first photo there are 2 together the one to the left, more green and yellow is the hybrid and the one to the right is the native looking macaw. We caught them flying around chasing her for peanuts. They were hard to get clean photos of them in the trees, but I got a few. There will be a part 2!

Beautiful shots. Looks like the Scarlet Macaw may have crossed with a Blue and Gold Macaw.
