3D scan of a taxidermized specimen of a Cuban Macaw, or Tricolored Macaw (Ara tricolor), created by the [Natural History Museum of Vienna](https://www.nhm-wien.ac.at/en) under license [CC Attribution-NonCommercial](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/). This parrot species was native to Cuba and the neighboring island of Pines, before they were driven to extinction in the 2nd half of the 19th century. The use of Ara tricolor as food and pets and the deforestation of their habitat may have contributed to their extinction. The original and more information can be found at [sketchfab / NHMWien](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cuban-macaw-nhmw-zoo1-vs-50796-52348a29605a4136a0e807942d3c12a6), the following changes were made: * Geometry decimated from ~ 200k triangles to ~ 90k * downsized to 50% of the original size * object aligned * add a base * STL file without errors In addition to the "complete" version, there is also a split version (SV) with 3 parts. Note: If you want to paint the "Cuban Macaw" - parrot correctly, you can use the [original 3D view](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cuban-macaw-nhmw-zoo1-vs-50796-52348a29605a4136a0e807942d3c12a6) as a template. Could be a nice challenge for kids or retirees :)
