Macaw & Parrot
Meaning & Symbolism
Visibility
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 dreamed that I was sleeping and I had forgot to close my window. When I woke up in my dream there were over 10 Great Green Macaws in my room. It was a very vivid dream
What a cool dream! Great Green Macaws are rare, intelligent, and social creatures, and having so many appear in your room might symbolize an invitation to embrace connection, communication, and a burst of creativity in your life. The color green often represents growth, renewal, and harmony. The open window might suggest an openness to new ideas or opportunities. Perhaps these beautiful birds are a reminder to let your unique self and voice shine brightly in your waking life.
