Canindé Macaw Feeder at Dancing Waters Square

Free-Flying Canindé Macaws

This camera frames a feeding tray visited by wild blue-and-yellow macaws (Ara ararauna), known locally as araras Canindé. The birds perch and squabble over scattered seed, offering remarkably close views of their hooked beaks, facial feather patterns and sweeping tails.

The Praça das Águas Dançantes

The feeder sits beside the Square of the Dancing Waters, a popular gathering place in Santa Fé do Sul. Tree-lined streets, modest homes and a tidy green lawn surround the scene, showing how the macaws have made this urban square part of their everyday range.

A Community-Fed Flock

Local residents and caretakers keep the tray stocked with sunflower seeds and clean water, sustaining a wild flock that returns reliably. The result is a genuine, unstaged look at one of South America's most charismatic parrots living alongside people.
