摘要：In the 90s, organizations in charge of wildlife management in Medell¨ªn, released macaws (Psittacidae: Ara) in the city.
We report Ara severa, A. chloroptera and A. macao in the city. A group of eight individuals, belonging to the latter two
species was observed flocking together in the urban area of Medellin. Nest site availability is limited because of urban
expansion and logging of old dangerous trees. These macaws are out of their natural range but have shown considerable
adaptability. Strategies to manage wildlife in this urban area have been limited. Further work is needed to guarantee the
continued survival of these macaws.
