The beautiful extraordinary Macaw! The largest of the parrot family holds a vast amount of depth and meaning in the world of symbolism in many cultures. Regarded as messengers from the afterlife and Sun Gods for their vibrant feathers to even the Sacred Mother of the human species. The Macaw features in many legends throughout the centuries.
The Macaw can live upto 100 years and when they find a mate they mate for life but is it the Macaws impressive array of clever traits that make them such a feature in folklore? Their ability to mimic a wide range of sounds and songs and mimic a wide range of human speech. Maybe for their abilities the macaw represents creativity, intelligence, expression, communication and vivaciousness. An extraordinary being!
