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!
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.
I Dreamed about an obnoxious man in a movie theater who kept bumping my elbow and finally pinched my ass as I was leaning over the other direction.
I lost my temper and began unloading a fantastic verbal assault at him. The dream object of my rage morphed into a birdseye view of a black panthers head.
The head had a fontanelle, or opening on the surface in a disk shape of macaw feathers in a shallow funnel shape. The feathers ruffled lightly atop the Panther head as they absorbed my angry shouting. Thats it.
An interesting viewpoint spiritually. Sprit put one of these birds into my totem this morning so I thought I would look 👀 it up. I do lives in metaphysics and spirituality and it’s taken me years of work to come forward with my knowledge. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 💙
