Red-bellied Macaw: This macaw can be recognised by its red belly and the yellow on its cheeks. This macaw is often found near stands of the Mauricius Palm (Ite, the leaves you can see on the picture below). It likes its fruits and sometimes has its nest in one of these palms. The photos were made by Dominiek Plouvier and by Foek Chin Joe, both in Suriname. A short soundtrack of the red-bellied macaw was recorded by Ribot . The two videos of eating red-bellied macaws were made by Dominiek Plouvier In the second one you can hear the sound of these birds. |

The 222 reported observations of this bird in Suriname, mainly for the last 50 years up to 2018, have been grouped by month. More birds on one day are counted as one observation. Of course, if the graph should depict the total number of birds seen, the differences between the months could be much more pronounced. | The reported breeding observations of this bird in Suriname. Most observations are about nest with eggs, some about fledglings, or feeding at a nest or the building of a nest. Of the about 5000 nests and eggs found for all species together, about 1/3 comes from the egg collection of Penard between 1896 and 1905. For some reason most collecting then was done in the first half of each year, so the shown distribution does not necessarily reflect the actual breeding preferences. The main dry season in Suriname is reckoned to be from half August to the end of November, the main wet season from half April to half August, but the the timing of begin and end does vary from year to year. Around March a second dry season often occurs. |
