The Blue & Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna), also known as the Blue & Gold Macaw, is a member of the macaw group of parrots. These large birds breed in the swampy forests of tropical South America. They can reach sizes of 29.9-33.9 inches (76-86 cm) long and weigh 2-3 lbs (900 to 1300 grams), making them one of the largest parrots in the world. Ara ararauna lives up to 60 years of age and usually mate for life. They nest at the top of tree trunks and the female generally lays two eggs. The Blue & Yellow Macaw uses its powerful beak for breaking nutshells, and also for climbing up and hanging from trees. These parrots are very popular in the pet trade.

The magnet measures 2.5” x 3.5” (6.35 x 8.89cm) with a metal shell, mylar/UV protecting cover and flat magnetic back. The artwork is a reproduction of an original line art drawing by wildlife illustrator Roger Hall.
