Abstract
On an altar piece ofHans Burgkmair from Augsburg, painted in 1518, a Red-shouldered Macaw,Ara nobilis (l., 1758) can be recognised. The altar, however, was later (about 1600) enlarged and it cannot be excluded, that the macaw was supplemented at that time. If this is true, the picture of the macaw is not earlier than the pictures ofLazarus Roting from Nurnberg, which show 4 neotropical psittacines (other species), painted between 1600 and 1614.
