Scarlet macaw
Once a pair of scarlet macaws form a pair, they’re bonded for life and rarely seen alone. They show affection through mutual preening and licking each other. Mainly the female incubates the eggs, but both parents care for the chicks, who remain with their parents for one or two years.
