The reserve is also notable for its high concentration of macaws and parrots, which gather in large numbers at clay licks to consume the mineral-rich clay that helps neutralize toxins in their diet.

The wildlife in Tambopata National Reserve is abundant and includes iconic species such as jaguars, giant river otters, tapirs, giant anteaters, capybaras, and several species of monkeys. The reserve is also home to various reptiles, amphibians, and fish species, as well as a vast number of insects and other invertebrates.

Consequently, these birds gather daily at salt licks, which are clay-rich areas along the rivers and streams in the Madre de Dios region of the Amazon rainforest.
