Macaw / Parrot
Meaning & Symbolism
Macaw symbolizes rising, flair, and visibility.
Macaws are bright, bold, and loud! It’s time to unapologetically show off your unique qualities. No more hiding.
You have a skilled communicator and performer within you. Your unique flair and skills plant the seeds of inspiration in others.
We need to see you being your full self to help sprout something new within us.
Keep rising higher and higher. You are never “too much.”
Macaw can teach you how to use your uniquely intense colors (skills) to create a new vision for yourself and others.
Macaws are an endangered species, further emphasizing their rareness. Not only are you unique, but there are even fewer people within your niche who can provide what you have to offer. So speak up and show up. Your specialties are needed. The bright primary colors of Macaws are screaming at you to be unapologetically bold and beautiful just as you are. You represent color in its purest, most saturated form. Pull from your color palette to create a new world for yourself and others. There’s no need to look outside yourself for inspiration. You have everything you need.
Macaws wake up with the sun and fly off early in the morning to search for food. This could indicate that you have the potential to be productive in the morning. Try doing important tasks first thing in the day and see how it goes for you.
Like many birds, Macaws promote the growth of forests as they keep dropping seeds they eat. You are a planter of seeds, spreading inspiration everywhere you go.
Macaws are extremely intelligent. They can learn how to unlatch cages and mimic words and sounds. You are a clever and skilled communicator/performer.
Macaws use loud calls like screaming and squawking to communicate amongst themselves and draw attention. You are not “too loud” or “too much.” If anything, this is one of your gifts. Macaw is asking you to speak up more often because we could benefit from your unique viewpoint. Help draw our attention to helpful places.

I want to hear about your Macaw experiences. What stories or dreams have you had? Please share and join in the conversation below!
I was meditating last night and I went into a lucid dream. I saw myself lying there, dreaming as I watched this scene I started hearing macaw’s calling to me i looked over my right shoulder I could see a few of them as dots in the distance. They clearly noticed me looking at them they started calling to me, louder and louder.
I saw more and more gathering in this family group. I started noticing the rain forest growing around me and I was speedily being pulled towards the macaw’s on the vibration of their squawks, I speed faster and faster the colors grew sharper and clearer to me. The macaws were of every color and nearly screaming in my head. I started seeing through each and everyone of there eyes I landed on a jungle dwelling more and more macaw’s gathered until I thought this must surely be every one in the jungle. Then one by one, they flew down and sat on my shoulder, and they stuck their tongues out and touch my own tongue. I was then carried off in this huge flock, which, when they settle, covered every branch in the forest trees around me, squawking and calling as each and everyone took their turn resting on my shoulders and kissing or tonguing me.
I awoke from my dream. Still hearing their cars and screeching sounds. I could still see the jungle through their eyes and just felt such a close connection with them. Could you enlighten me on the meaning?
Love the info 👍
Thank you! I experienced the booming voices of macaws and their vibrant light every morning in Costa Rica when they flew in circles over the jungle. I fell so fully in love with them that I am now completely obsessed.
During this stressful time of my life a Beautiful blue Mcaw visited me in my visions, flew the blue skies and came to rest on my shoulder! Thank you Great Spirit.
