Trinidad an Tobago Birds
The Red-bellied Macaw, Ara manilata is a locally common resident of Trinidad. Flocks are regularly seen at Nariva Swamp and Aripo Savannah where large stands of Moriche Palms occur. The macaws depend heavily on Moriche Palms for their survival. They feed on the palm fruit and nest in the hollowed out stems of dead palms. They are smaller than their blue and yellow cousins and fortunately have not been as targeted by the pet trade.
