Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous Macaw is one of the world's rarest birds. It is Critically Endangered, and may be extinct in the wild.

Many aviculturalists have reported sightings of this bird however the most recent sighting was in 1992. The reported sighting was in southwestern Paraguay, near the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.

Origin

The Glaucous macaw is an endangered parrot species native to South America. This majestic bird is distinguished by a blue feather pattern, and a sharp beak that can break open seeds and nuts. Glaucous Macaws form monogamous long-term couples, and both parents raise the chicks. The chicks are fed regular food for the first couple of weeks of their lives and then a variety of solid foods as they grow. Parents are also responsible for teaching the young macaws to fly and hunt.

The glaucous Macaw has gone extinct, but rumors about its existence continue to circulate across the globe. The glaucous Macaw is believed to be extinct by the 1800s because of the logging industry and cattle grazing in yatay (Butia) palm groves, where the birds would gather their food. It is believed that the glaucous macaw made a comeback in captivity in the wild, where it is raised alongside its larger relative, Lear's macaw.

In terms of habitat, the glaucous macaw can be found in the sub-tropical forests of South America. They are usually found in areas with abundant palm trees, and they are believed to be extremely adaptable to different types of forested habitats. These beautiful birds are also recognized as being very territorial and will protect their feeding and nesting areas from invaders.

There have been a variety of reports on the glaucous macaw throughout the years, but they are considered to be not reliable. The most recent report of a wild occurrence involves an avicultural acquaintance of Ridgely's who claimed to have witnessed four Glaucous macaws in Califomia. This claim is untrue until it can backed up with hard evidence. Many experts have concluded that this bird is likely extinct because there are no records from the last century. However they have been willing to accept a slim chance of its survival. If it does survive, it will be extremely uncommon to see large numbers.

The species was once widespread, but is now only found in northern Argentina south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay, as well as Brazil and Brazil from Parana state to the south, where it is nestled in cliffs that run alongside major rivers.

While there have been no reliable sightings of this species since 1830, the Glaucous Macaw seemed not to be extremely rare within its relatively limited range; specimens were captured until 1860 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous Macaw was seen at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to be from Brazil.

Reassessment suggests that this species is a generalist, and prefers savanna habitat interspersed with palm "islands" and riparian forest bands along rivers. It was a particular feeder of palm fruit especially those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However it also ate ripe or unripe fruits and berries, nuts, and vegetable matter. It is a nesting place on steep slopes on cliffs, in cliffs, and occasionally in tree cavities.

As with other parrots this bird was social and was likely to be gregarious. It could live for up to 14.8 years in captivity. It was believed to be a reliable breeder that reproduced year after year. The lifespan of the species in the wild was perhaps 50-80 years. This species was a powerful seed disperser and may have contributed to the success of the yatay palm in its native habitats.

Feeding

The Glaucous Macaw is one of the most beautiful parrots to buy. The presence of this parrot has an impact on its environment. This massive South American bird is known for its vivid blue feathers and yellow eyes and also for its distinctive teardrop-shaped lappet that brackets the lower part of its beak.

Bates, "The Naturalist on the Amazons" first published in 1863 on his 11-year stay in Brazil and later in his work "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests". Both are about the Hyacinthine Macaw, Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. There is no reason to believe that they do macaws make good pets not apply to this species.

The Glaucous macaw is believed to have been a specialist feeder, consuming mainly palm nuts, but also tiny amounts of other fruits, seeds and vegetable matter. The diet of this species was likely influenced by the clearing of forests for farming and cattle-ranching by early colonists, and the removal of yatay (Butia) palms from which it got a large portion of its nutritional value.

In the wild, the Glaucous severe macaw For sale was found in subtropical forests with the savannahs and cliffs surrounded by palm trees, where it nested in tree cavities and on rocky banks, or in the top of palm fronds. On average two clutches of eggs was laid and incubated by the female.

Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous Macaw has been eliminated from most of its previous range. The disappearance of this magnificent bird is most likely due to the continuing trapping for the pet trade, as well as habitat disturbance, particularly the massive clearing of yatay palms from which it may have obtained its main food supply. The Glaucous macaw is listed under Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous Macaws are monogamous, long-term couples. Both parents are involved in raising their young. They breed in the dry season, which is when the food supply is at its highest.

Only about 20 glaucous Macaws are believed to exist in the wild. The IUCN classifies the bird as "Critically Endangered, possibly extinct."
