This bird actually lived in an exhibit but could freely roam and fly around. There were 2 macaws there, but this guy seemed to model for the camera. Really pleased with the colors and DOF. If I were to reshoot it, I would have tried some different composition.
I slightly cropped it and did some sharpening.

I really like the detail of the wing feathers. It makes me think of a watercolor or impressionist painting. I think the cropping of the tail feathers is a bit distracting since the angle of your subject leads your eye down to the lower right corner.
wOW!! The colors are great and the expression on the bird is perfect. As if "So you want a picture, eh?" The clarity of the feathers is excellent. Blurred background perfect. All around very very good.
Excellent colors, and quality. Although I would like to see the full shot of the bird, this tight crop works well with it. =) The birds' wings look almost painted. If I could vote, I would have gave you a high mark =) Good Luck!
