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 want to hear about your Macaw experiences. What stories or dreams have YOU had? Please share and join in the conversation below!
I met a beautiful soft pink macaw today while walking down the street. His color actually reminded me of the color of my auric field but I was really nervous being around him. My friend urged me to hold him and I did so fearfully! I was looking into his eyes and they really take you in when they look at you. When his mom went to take him back because it was time he ran up onto my shoulder and didn’t want to go! I have been having a tough time lately and this medicine (and your interpretation) was just what I needed to feel validated. Thank you!
You’re so welcome! What a special moment you had with the soft pink Macaw. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for this info on the macaw spirit animal Tanya ? so what l needed to hear now and incredibly pertinent!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad I could help share this message for you. Thanks
Hello, I just wanted to thankyou for your interpretation
On the Macaw. I had a morning dream today, and I was standing outside our house and our huge magnolia tree was full of squawking blue and gold macaws. It was beautiful. So tonight I typed in “spiritual meaning of dreaming of blue and gold macaws” and came to your site and beautiful painting and meaning. It was all perfect and exactly true for me. Coincidence?”)
Last night I had a dream I was driving down the road I grew up on, and a group of rainbow macaws were flying overhead. A hawk plucked a feather from one of them. I opened my car window for him, and he came inside. 🙂
Hey thanks for sharing this is beautiful. I’m with my 4 year old son and my father and step mother coming back home to Texas from visiting family in Kansas. We had someone pet sitting our animals while gone and a few hours from home we get the message that our blue and gold macaws ( one we adopted over 25 years ago Cortez who I’m so connected to I believe I looked like her first mummy so she has always loved me she said my name she would be so affectionate to me and we recently adopted a male Louie which we had him only about a week. My parents were just trying to be kind and we made the mistake of trusting them with being able to roam their cages freely like we have done with Cortez for years ) we’re about a half hour from home now and the pet sitter isn’t exactly sure what happened but they got spooked. Somehow and now they’re dead in boxes and I’m absolutely gutted. We have dogs also apparently they aren’t bloody or anything so we are unsure of the cause of death but i came across this site while looking into the spiritual meaning of them and I love this message and I feel it definitely applies to me in every way. I’d love a portrait of Cortez I appreciate your art and beautiful words. Thank you
could they have cooked in a non stick griddle in the bird’s presence?
that is something which could kill them all within just minutes.
so very sorry for that awful loss… I would have been devastated.
Macaws are eye catching, and interesting. I find them adoreable.
