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.

Hi, hello, good morning,
I just woke about 30 mins ago from a dream. I just stepped out of an elevator on the roof top of a very tall condo building. I just happened to look a crossed the way, through some trees and noticed a red and blue macaw standing on the railing of a someones balcony. I called to it fearing it was lost and worried that it would disappear never to be found. It flew straight over to me. It was a bit shy at first but then grabbed a hold of my arm and nozzled into my face. It was the sweetest and softest bird I have ever touched. I noticed that it had a purple tag on its foot with the name Cora and Ray, vet info and owner info. I asked if it was Cora or Ray and he said Ray. In my dream I did try to call the number on the tag but it went to voice mail, I didn’t catch the name and then my alarm went off.
I just saw 2 big ones on top of my house. They graced me with their presence for a bit and then flew away making their loud sounds!
This is so perfect! I am owned by an amazing Blue & Gold Macaw. Her name is Bella. Our story is so special but to long to write here. She has helped my husband and I through some tough times and brought us closer together. She is the absolute light and love of my life. She was sent to me for a reason xx
My mother keeps dreaming of a blue macaw. She’s curious on what it represents spiritually. Could ya help me out here to give her the answer?
Share with your mom everything that I’ve written about Macaws above. In particular, the color blue spiritually represents peace, trust, confidence, and the throat chakra. The throat chakra is linked to communication, especially speaking loud and expressing your truth – which is what the Macaw also symbolizes.
