The Macaw 11/9/15-11/13/15

The Macaw is an herbivore. It eats the nuts from the Brazilian nut tree. Along with that it eat other nuts. It does not only eat nuts it also eats seeds, berries, fruits, and leaves. The macaw is at the top of the food chain. The macaw loves to live up in the tall trees of the rain forest. You may also find them near rivers. They tend to love to live in large noisie groups.
These animals have no natural predators but when they grow old and die they pass their nutrients on to the rain forest so that their can  be regrowth in the plants of the rain forest. Even though they have no natural predators in Costa Rica you can find them being snatched out of their nests by humans and sold for 200$. In the united states they can be found being sold for 4000$.
The macaw relies on the things in the rain forest it relies on the trees to give it shelter. It relies on the Brazilian nut tree and other nuts, seeds, fruits, berries, and leaves. the plants in the rain forest re lie on the macaw for their nutrients. If the rain forest does not get it's nutrients that means that food starts to disappear for the herbivores in the rain forest and some of those are eaten by other animals in the ecosystem. So that is the important  of the rain forest and the macaw in the rain forest.

I used evidence to defend my explanation of the reason why Mr. Cutatree should not be able to cut down the rain forest so he can build the Uppity Resort. We used the evidence of the food web of the rain forest to try to convince him not to do it because of what will happen to the the food chain web if he cuts this rain forest down and why we will not like this to happen. Mr. Cutatree in a kind of crazy man and he only excepts letters from animals and plants. I think that that actually helps us because then that means that he might believe it because it is coming from something that comes from that area.
