Blue-and-Yellow Macaws at Tropical Birdland, 18/05/13

Ara ararauna

In the Parrot Garden - around a dozen species of free-flying parrot congregate in this area.

Notice the very long tails with the slight 'kink' at the end? I have noticed before that free-fliers have these very long tails, whereas clipped birds often have slightly shorter or abraded tails presumably from the filaments being damaged from contact with their surroundings.
