Colorful parrot (5)

I believe the answer is:

macaw

'colorful parrot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for macaw that I've seen before include "Tropical parrot" , "brilliant winger" , "colourful flyer" , "Colourful creature" , "Large and showy Latin American parrot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times, the USA Today, The Washington Post and the LA Times.
