Long-tailed, brilliantly coloured birds (6)

I believe the answer is:

macaws

(Other definitions for macaws that I've seen before include "Brightly-coloured parrots" , "Long-tailed, brilliantly-coloured parrots" , "Birds" , "More than one bird" , "Long-tailed parrots of Central and South America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
