Scarlet Macaw Bliss

SCARLET MACAW BLISS
Imagine being above the canopy of the Amazon and a Scarlet Macaw cruises into a tree nearby foraging for seeds and nuts! The observation tower at @tiputiniusfq is 45m high, allowing for a horizon view of trees transpiring - Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves. This process is s one of the major sources of clean water being released into the atmosphere....I digress but wow, thinking about the intricacies of natural processes - atmospheric rivers!
Wonder threads!!!

Macaws contribute largely to the rainforests ecosystemic biodiversity through seed and nut dispersal.
17 species of Macaw still exist, all are threatened by profit for shares.
