In early spring, the Shanghai Zoo has become a kaleidoscope of colors thanks to its vibrant macaw parrots. These magnificent birds, with their rainbow-hued plumage and long tail feathers, are captivating visitors and adding bursts of vitality to the zoo.
Considered the “stars” of the parrot family, macaws are known for their impressive size and striking appearance. Native to South and Central America, over 30 of these exotic birds now call the Shanghai Zoo home.
To ensure the macaws thrive, zookeepers have created a comfortable habitat that includes warm indoor spaces and spacious outdoor areas. This environment allows these king-size birds to fly freely, showcasing their brilliant colors to delighted onlookers.
The arrival of the macaws has not only enriched the zoo’s biodiversity but also provided an exciting attraction for visitors eager to experience the beauty of nature up close.
