Brief description: When humanity was in chaos and the great fire broke out, the anämëi tree saved the Harakbut. It is thanks to the tree that humanity still exists. While it grew and grew it housed everyone, it was there where some leaves fell, the red leaves became macaws, the black leaves became paujil and pavas. That is how the birds originated and also how the anämëi tree continued to sustain, care for and feed the Harakbut.
