How does a macaw protect itself?

Answer 1

If threatened, a macaw will fly away. If it's unable to fly, it will protect itself by biting with its beak, pushing with its feet, scratching with its claws, and swatting with its wings. One other defense macaws have are their feathers. If a predator bites them, it will get a mouth full of feathers and that will give the macaw a bit of extra time to get away. The feathers release fairly easily for this reason. Also, if a predator jumps at a bird, it will often miss the body and grab the tail. And again, the long tail feathers will detach, and the bird will have another chance at flying to the safety of the trees and sky. Most things about a macaw are designed around the act of flight. To make it easier to fly, parrots have bones that are hollow, and these fragile bones are easily broken. They have very little blood, so they can bleed to death from a deep wound, even though their blood clots very quickly. So, their best defense is flight--which is why their body is designed for it. Without flight, they are easy prey to almost any predator. Hope this helps.

Some of proceeds going to Miller and Levine Biology will be spent to protect the macaws by protecting natural habitats, attempting to halt poachers, create alternative profitable income sources for these poachers, and educate the world about the birds. Feathered Nest Rescue and Adoption, Nebraska Parrot Rescue, and Wings Over the Rainbow, along with many other organisations adopt these macaws and other types of exotic birds.
