Among the four polychrome boards at Teotihuacan, near Mexico City, the most prominent mural features green and white feathered birds standing in procession. Likely a depiction of a parrot or macaw with its open, curved beak, it sits above a bent band.

This is a large parrot, at Sylvan Heights Bird Park, with long tail feathers, mainly blue and yellow. The forehead is green, the upper part of the body brilliant blue, and the sides of the neck and body golden yellow. These macaws also have black around the chin and cheeks, and the naked skin of the cheeks is pinkish-white with lines of very small, isolated black feathers. Macaws are often monogamous, remaining bonded for life. They are usually seen flying in large flocks, and the bonded pairs fly close together, their wings nearly touching.
