Attach either wing to the rear of the Tissue roll with glue.

Next, Stick the eyes and the beak to give your macaw its facial features.

Finally, add the head feature to the inner side of the paper roll, completing your macaw creation.

The end result of this craft will be a stunning masterpiece that can be proudly displayed on a rack or hung on a wall.
