Chestnut-fronted Macaw

A medium-sized macaw of Central and South American tropical forests from southern Mexico to Bolivia and Brazil, chestnut-fronted macaws have predominantly green plumage with a chestnut forehead, red shoulder patches, and blue flight feathers. The smallest of the true macaws, they inhabit forest edges, savannas, and secondary woodland and often raid crops, making them locally unpopular with farmers. They are popular aviary birds, but wild populations face pressure from trapping and deforestation.

Pedobacter roseus is a pink-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium in the family Sphingobacteriaceae, isolated from soil environments. It produces distinctive rosy colonies and inhabits cool to temperate soils with organic matter. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes a variety of organic substrates and produces hyaluronidase-type enzymes.
