The Ccollpa
One distinctive habitat nearby Tambo Blanquillo is the shebonal forest, which is high in clay content, creating clay licks, locally known as ccollpa which are specially used by macaws and other rainforest species as a healthy diet supplement that helps them remove toxins from their digestive tracks. Macaws usually obtain these noxious chemical substances from unripe fruits they ingest.
