美洲紅鸛

美洲火烈鸟是色彩最鲜艳的火烈鸟种类,其猩红粉色羽毛来源于甲壳类食物中的类胡萝卜素色素。分布于从巴哈马和佛罗里达到中美洲及加拉帕戈斯群岛的加勒比海沿岸潟湖、盐田和红树林沼泽。高度群居,在泥滩土堆上大规模集群繁殖。其独特的深粉色被用来向潜在配偶传递健康和繁殖质量的信号。

緋紅麥鷍

绯红金刚鹦鹉(Ara macao)是美洲色彩最为绚丽的鸟类之一,拥有鲜艳的红、黄、蓝羽毛,翼展可达1米。分布于墨西哥至玻利维亚的湿润低地森林,智力高超,寿命可达75年,并终生保持配对关系。它们会长途跋涉前往富含矿物质的土壤地点,通过摄入土壤来中和种子中的毒素。被列为无危,但因栖息地丧失和宠物贸易而在局部地区受到威胁。
