Fun Facts

Scarlet macaws (and parrots more generally) are seed predators, meaning they eat and destroy seeds rather than eating the fruit and leaving the seeds.  This limits the number of seeds that can germinate into new plants and influences the generation of forest tree species.  In contrast, many other birds are seed dispersers that don’t harm the seeds and drop them some place away from the parent tree to germinate into new plants.
