Macaw...
A Blue and Gold Macaw I took a few close ups of in Mexico… If I am incorrect on the species name.. please let me know.. I think this is correct from my research.

Not only is the Blue and Gold Macaw one of the most beautiful, but has one of the best all around personalities of the large macaws. They are affectionate, inquisitive, and intelligent. They make them a great companion not only for a single person but when well socialized are friendly with everyone, even other birds.
