Field Notes

Description:

Er... I'm not sure, but it looks like Blue-and-yellow Macaw.
Also known as the Blue-and-Gold Macaw, is a member of the group of large Neotropical parrots known as macaws.

Habitat:

It breeds in forest (especially varzea, but also in open sections of Terra Firme) and woodland of tropical South America from Trinidad and Venezuela south to Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It extends slightly into Central America, where it is restricted to Panama. It is an endangered species in Trinidad, and is on the verge of being extirpated from Paraguay, but still remains widespread and fairly common in a large part of mainland South America.

Notes:

Located in Batu Secret Zoo, Indonesia

Aww, so it is not pure breed. That's why I feel strange about this one. At a glance, it looks like blue-yellow macaw, but the color of its neck and back is strange.... Thx carolina.
It looks like a Catalina macaw, a Blue-and-yellow macaw + Scarlet macaw hybrid.
Awesome! looks like a young exemplar
