Macaw is the popular name for any parrot of the genus Sittace, or Macrocercus. There are about eighteen species known, all of them American. They are large birds with a very long tail, a strong hooked bill, and a naked space around the eyes. The voice is harsh, and they are brightly coloured in strongly contrasting colours. Research Macaw
