One of the "Chicos" - the original group of birds who'd been handraised for a month, and still like to hang out at the lodge. During my visit in 2002, they were following the first chicos who had bred with totally wild mates.

  I don't know if they were macaws.
  
  But many years ago, while resting on a beautiful, quiet beach on Mexico's west coast - about one thousand miles south of the US/Mexico border - I heard a great bird conversation in the distance. I looked around and saw that the chatter was coming from an approaching group of birds - as they neared, their voices grew in volumn, and I saw that they were brightly colored - blue, red, yellow, etc.
  
  I always thought that a group of parrots had flown over head, but wonder if parrots fly in groups.

  their flocks. They stay together for protection (many eyes to spot trouble, and loud voices to warn the others) and to seek food. I'll have more in a comment downthread...
