Spotted
The Blue-headed Macaw is a small, mainly green macaw distinguished by its striking blue head and yellow underwing coverts. It is found in the western Amazon.
Where to spot
Humid evergreen forests, often near rivers and forest edges, in the western Amazon basin of southeastern Peru, northwestern Bolivia, and far western Brazil.
How to spot
Look for them flying over the forest canopy or perched in tall trees. They are often found in pairs or small groups. Listen for their typical macaw calls, though they are less harsh than larger macaws.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during the early morning and late afternoon, especially when visiting clay licks.

The Blue-headed Macaw is often seen visiting clay licks (colpas) along riverbanks, where they ingest mineral-rich clay to detoxify their diet.
