BLUE AN-D YELLOW MACAW. 
According to BufFon, the two descriptions 
never mingle, though they frequent the same 
spots, and Hve in harmony; notwithstanding 
tliis, he says that they are of the same species, 
and inhabit the same parts of South America. 
Their voices are somewhat different, for the 
Indians can distinguish them by the cry alone; 
it is said, that the Blue and Yellow Macaw 
does not pronounce the word Ara so distinclly 
as the Red and Blue. 
Edwards says, that this bird is the Arara- 
canga of the Brasilians; and, that it is more 
rare than the Red Macaw. They are, how- 
ever, prodigiously alike in every thing but their 
plumage. Albin, he observes, has given a very 
imperfeiSl figure of this bird, and erroneously 
calls it the hen Macaw, supposing it to be th^ 
hen of the Scarlet and Blue Macaw, which i 
a somewhat larger bird. 
They arc the largest of the Pai rot kind; 
and frequently a yard in length, from the tip 
of the bill, to the extremity of the tail, which 
is alwavs very long.
