Description
"The Great Green Macaw, Framed" is an original fine art wildlife photograph and digital artwork by Sandra Huston.
I photographed this Great Green Macaw in the open interactive aviary station during our visit to the Southwick's Zoo in Mendon, Massachusetts on a hot sultry day late in September. Obviously it was taking a nap and in no way was it going to be interrupted. With one squinty look, I got the impression it was saying “Look lady I am trying to nap here”. With its handler inside teaching a group of kids all about parrots of the world, we took the hint and let it have its nap. It was still quite the treat to be able to get this up close and personal to such an impressive creature. After uploading this photograph I decided to use my artistic license and added a few layers of matching borders and a transparent frame for the public to enjoy. This digital artwork would look exceptional reproduced as a canvas, acrylic or metal print for any Macaw lover’s home or office.
Honored to be featured in the following Fine Art America groups:

The Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus) is also known as Buffon's macaw or the great military macaw. This Central and South American parrot is found in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Ecuador. The Great Green Macaw lives in the canopy of wet tropical forests and is highly dependent on the almendro tree. Great green macaws are the largest parrots in their natural range, and the third heaviest parrot species in the world. This species of parrot is still endangered even though the numbers seem encouraging. An annual festival is held building local pride for the great green macaw and promoting its conservation in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua during May. During the festival local farmers and nest caretakers receive prizes for helping the conservation of this great bird. Wikipedia
