Here are some adorable images of
macaw parrot chicks getting weighed and measured. The one on the left is just one week old, and the one on the right is seven weeks old.
Researchers at the Tambopata Research Center have been studying the wild macaw populations for years and tracking the growth of the nestlings. By climbing up into the trees and gathering data on these macaws, the researchers are able to do a lot of interesting science and gather information critical to protecting these species.
