Meet the Author


The arara (macaw) got its name from the Tupi language of Brazil. The word a'rara mimics the sounds these large, colorful birds make. We have chosen the arara as the Brazilian correspondent for Maria-Brazil.org because to us the bird is symbolic of the country. And then, of course, she turned out to be a real prima donna...Arara has now decided that she needs her own blog and will be pecking at her laptop keyboard from the general vicinity of Corcovado Mountain in Rio. We must confess, though, that in view of the complete chaos reigning in Brazilian skies these days, we consider ourselves especially lucky for having someone able to fly under her own power.

Last, but not least: The bird is entirely responsible for her blog's content. No use complaining to us.
