Macaws fly over buildings in Caracas March 31, 2015. While the Avila mountain range astride Caracas’ northern edge harbors hundreds of bird species, flocks of macaws are increasingly numerous, cruising above streets choked by traffic and plagued by the globe’s second-highest urban crime rate, according to the United Nations. Oblivious to the human-borne stress, blue-and-yellow macaws (or Ara ararauna) alight on antennae, roofs and windowsills, a colorful diversion to residents’ daily grind. Picture taken March 31, 2015.
