Macaw---Parrot (1 Viewer)

[russ1610]

Macaws, you know those big parrots, well here’s one for you I wasn’t drunk and my 14 year old son saw it first but as I drove through Kirby Steven, Westmorland, England I saw one fly across the road in front of the car, Has anyone else heard of one flying round up there or is there somewhere it could have escaped from.
I know what I saw I just didn't beleive it It was a Macaw

I don't believe this! My wife and I saw one at Titchwell about 10.am on Monday. It was witnessed by at least six other people, so we weren't drunk either.
At least I think it was a Macaw. Bright blue upperparts and bright yellow below.It flew across the reserve, calling as it went and vanished over Thornham. We were surprised as to how large a bird it was and everything around took flight as it passed over.
I understand they are worth a few bob so anyone who has lost one could be well out of pocket!

What Parrot-What Macaw

Hola:

I could not find a picture but here go some tips:

Macaws in flight: Pointed wings + Pointed Tails no feathers on the face. If they had feathers on their faces it could have been a parrakeet.

Parrots in Flight: Rounded tails and wing tips, fast flapping of wings, no gliding except when arriving at a perch.

Macaws in Kirkby Stephen

Hi, I'm no expert, but I saw a pair of Macaws flying low over Kirkby Stephen town centre on New Year's Day (2007), shortly before starting the Nine Standards Fell Race. This means I'm mad, but not barking.
