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.

Years ago I got a tatoo,it was of a macaw,because I always wanted one but I knew I couldn’t afford it.I recently found feathers of one and the next day my granddaughter sent me a photo of her on vacation holding one.I have felt like I have been flying ever since.
Wow I love this!
I dreamt there was a huge macaw blue and green that I followed it was a my old address in a field there were hundreds of these beautiful birds. I am scared of birds in real life. At first I was not scared but then all of the birds took flight. I was on. A bicycle and started to pedal the same direction as the birds. Then a one I followed landed on my head. I was calm I tried to pick up the bird it stayed I tried again it cawed then I woke up? What are your thoughts on this dream?
Hey, I am the big fan of Macaw. Macaw’s color of beauty, internal perspective i mean boldness, creativity etc are very impressive . Anyway, May i use this name “MACAW” as a company name please.
Yes, Macaw is free for everyone (I don’t own it), just look up the Copywrite/Trademark of the name as you formally register your business to make sure it’s not already in use.
Thank you Tanya. I had a vision of a Macaw flying out of my solar plexus this morning. I know I had to look it up. This was the perfect message for me. I am beginning to understand why I feel like I am the only one (even in the spiritual field) that has the message that is coming through me. Maybe I’m a little more of a rare/endangered breed than I allow myself to own. Instead of feeling lonely or odd, it’s tome for me to express with confidence, the rare Beauty coming through me. Thank you. ?
Yes! Express with confidence the rare beauty that comes through you please! We need you shining at your fullest.
