![]() One of the few tropical birds that are easily recognizable, the Scarlet is known for its large size, magnificent long tail and brilliant colors. They are affectionate, loving birds that flock together in pairs, forming strong bonds with their mates. Once they build a nest, they stay close to home, rarely travel, and feed on the food from their area. |
