Macaws are a group of New World parrots that are long-tailed and often colorful, I was able to take some pictures of this beautiful birds at the Zoo in Schmiding / Upper Austria. Back in 2017 I still visited Zoos for some photography but till several years now I don't visit any Zoos anymore for animal photography, I like photography of wild living animals much more than animals that live imprisoned at Zoos. But I have to admit if you want to get some closeup pictures of birds and other animals, it is way easier at zoos when the animals cannot flee from you.

On the other hand, I find it very sad that such beautiful animals are caught and kept imprisoned. I am looking forward to visit Costa Rica or some other countries where I can find these beauties in wildlife. I know this is difficult because they could be very shy, especially when not used to humans but seeing them in the Jungle would be great.
