Macaws are arguably one of the brightest, most vibrantly coloured parrot species in the rainforest. Their feathers resemble a rainbow-like pattern, making them stand-out against the green forest. Their feathers are also waterproof, which means that when it rains the water runs off their feathers and they dry quicker, meaning they do not get cold.
Macaws have a sharp, curved beak which enable them to crush and break open the shells of foods and nuts which they like to eat. They also use their feathers to preen themselves, picking off bits of dirt trapped in the feathers.
Macaws have very dexterous claws. They are used for a variety of things. One of these is gripping, like human hands, onto things. They hold onto or pick up things such as nuts, and also use them to hold onto branches, and for general stability.
Macaws also have a long line of feathers which extend downwards, like a tail. They are like this to help them balance in the tall trees and in flight.

∙ 9y agoToucans have adapted to become fruit eaters. It is possible it was a fruit eater already, but it may have had to adapt to the forest's sweet fruit. One of the consequences of becoming a fruit eater is that it would have had to find a way to reach the fruit; a long, but light beak is a perfect adaptation. The bill is long, and it is light. The Toucans bill is made out of the same material that our nails are made out of- Keratin. So that is another adaptation that the Toucan has made. The Toucan also has 4 toes on each foot : 2 that go forward and 2 that go backwards. This helps it cling on to trees, branches and any other perching spots.

∙ 12y ago- People adapt to the Amazon rain forest by building shelters in high, elevated areas that are far away from swamps and riverbeds to minimize exposure to mosquitoes and away from lightening. They also ensure that they build where there is a water source and food source. They also adapt to the weather that is also wet and humid unlike the other places.
