The Chinchilla laniger (Chinchilla laniger) is native to the Andes Mountains of South America, where it lives in caves and rock crevices at about 1,600 m elevation.

Serinus canaria

Blue-headed Macaw
The Blue-headed Macaw is the most expensive of the small parrots, mainly because of its scarcity, low popularity, and obscurity—truly a case of rarity commanding a premium. In captivity it is easily tamed and quite robust, adapts well, and like other macaws loves to chew and is destructive, so regular bathing keeps its plumage healthy. It suits a fairly roomy, flight-capable aviary.
Blue-throated Macaw
The Blue-throated Macaw is a native of the tropical Americas and is very similar to the Blue-and-yellow Macaw, sharing the same curious, playful, and friendly personality. With strikingly beautiful plumage and a very long tail, it is a large climbing parrot with a correspondingly large appetite.

If they stay down, the usual causes are ear mites (causing vestibular signs like a head tilt), calcium deficiency (poor cartilage/bone growth), or a hereditary 'soft ear' that can't be cured and shouldn't be bred. Treat mites with ear cleaner and a miticide, fix calcium with diet and sunshine, and you can also brace the ear with foam and lash glue for about two months.
