A Park Full of Parrots

If I were to guess, I would say the parrot is most represented species at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Now I will admit I haven't done the research on this, but between those at the Oasis and Tree of Life trails, Flights of Wonder and now Winged Encounters, it just feels like you can find a gorgeous and colorful parrot around every corner.


This blue-and-yellow macaw can be found on the often overlooked Tree of Life trails. Just keeping walking and you will find them, and usually someone trying in vain to see if they talk.

The Clock is Ticking to Save the Blue-throated Macaw!

If you frequent this photo safari, you are probably going to be very familiar with macaws, as the new Winged Encounters show offers some amazing photo opportunities. This is one of the stars of the show, a Blue-throated macaw.


These guys come out first, because they are extremely rare and the hosts want to talk about them a bit. You see, thanks to the pet trade, there are literally only hundreds of these birds left in the wild.
