Chestnut-fronted Macaw (Ara severus) - 02Mar2022

Here is one of the Macaws I have not seen in its natural range yet, which is northern South America.  However there is a feral population in Florida which I have seen and where this photograph was taken.  The latin name and the nickname (Severe Macaw) is mainly due to their gregarious disposition making them difficult to tame and very noisy.  Perhaps that is why they ended up being released from someone's aviary in Florida.
