Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous Macaw is one the rarest birds in the world. It is critically endangered and may even be extinct.

Various birdwatchers have reported sightings this bird, but the most recent was in 1992. The reported sighting was in the southwestern region of Paraguay close to the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.

Origin

The Glaucous miniature macaw for sale is a threatened parrot species native to South America. This majestic bird is distinguished by its unique blue feather pattern and powerful beak capable of cracking open tough seeds and nuts. Glaucous Macaws are monogamous couples and both parents care for the chicks. The chicks are fed regurgitated food during the first few weeks of life 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 is considered to be extinct in the wild, yet rumors of this beautiful bird's existence continue to spread throughout the world. The glaucous Macaw is believed to have gone extinct in the 1800s because of logging and cattle grazing on yatay (Butia) palm groves from which the birds gathered their food. The glaucous Macaw is believed to have returned, and is often kept with its larger mate, Lear's mini macaw for sale.

In terms of habitat The glaucous macaw is able to be found in the sub-tropical forests of South America. They are usually located in areas with a lot of palm trees, and are believed to be extremely adaptable to a variety of forested habitats. These beautiful birds are territorial and defend the nesting and feeding areas from intruders.

In the past, there have been a variety of reports of the glaucous macaw, but they are generally regarded as unreliable. The most recent wild claim was made by an avicultural friend of Ridgely who claimed to have spotted four Glaucous Macaws in Califomia. This is a ridiculous claim until it can backed up with hard evidence. The absence of any reliable data on this bird over the past century has led many experts to believe that it is extinct, however they have always been willing to accept the possibility of survival (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it does survive it is highly unlikely to make it to large numbers.

Habitat

The glaucous Macaw is an impressive bird, renowned for its huge size and turquoise-blue coloration. The long tail and wings highlight its graceful and agile moves. The bird is a symbol of love and loyalty. Its beak is mostly black and has a unique shape that allows it to break open nuts and seeds, which make up a large portion of its diet.

The Glaucous buy macaw bird is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN and the IUCN states that it has an extremely small population and is at a significant danger of disappearing. The species was once relatively widespread, but it is found only in northern Argentina as well as southern Paraguay, north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards where it nestted in cliffs along major rivers.

The Glaucous macaw pets (Read More Here) was not rare in its small range, even though there was no evidence of sightings since 1830. Specimens were collected until the year 1860 (in Corrientes). The last living Glaucous Macaw, believed to originate from Brazil was seen in the Buenos Aires Zoo back in 1936.

Re-evaluation of the historical documents suggests that this species was a rather generalist in its preferences for habitat with a preference for savanna habitat intermingled with palm "islands" and bands of riparian forest along river systems. It was a specialized in the consuming of palm fruit particularly those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However, it also ate ripe and unripe fruits and berries, nuts, and even vegetable matter. It is a nesting place on steep slopes on cliffs, in cliffs, and occasionally in tree cavities.

The bird was likely to be gregarious and social, similar to other parrots. It was reported that it could live to 14.4 years in captivity and was a reliable breeder that reproduced year after year. Its life expectancy in the wild was 50-80 years. This species was a powerful disperser of seeds and could be a factor in the success of the palm yatay in its natural habitat.

Feeding

The Glaucous Macaw is one of the most stunning parrots. Its presence can have an enormous impact on its environment. This huge South American parrot is known for its vibrant blue feathers, yellow eyes and the teardrop-shaped lappet on the lower part its beak.

As of the time of writing, little was known about the eating habits and diet of the Glaucous macaw. The earliest detailed references that I have found are two works by H.W. Bates, "The Naturalist on the Amazons" first published in 1863 about his 11 year stay in Brazil and later in his work "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests". Both of them are about the Hyacinthine Macaw Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. There is no reason to believe that they don't apply to this species.

It is likely that the Glaucous spix macaw lifespan was a specialist for the consumption of palm nuts. It also ate other seeds, fruits, and vegetable matter in small amounts. This species' diet was likely heavily influenced by the clearing of forests for agriculture and cattle-ranching by early colonists, as well the yatay (Butia) palms from which it derived a lot of its nutrition.

In the wild, the Glaucous Macaw was commonly found in subtropical forests containing mountains and savannahs that were surrounded by palm trees, where it nestled in tree cavities and on rocky banks or in the top of palm fronds. Females incubate and lay two eggs per.

The disappearance of this magnificent bird is likely due to the continued trapping of birds for the pet macaws industry as well as disturbance of habitat, specifically the mass clearing of palm yatays which may have been its main food source. The Glaucous macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous macaws typically form long-term monogamous pairs and both parents play part in raising the young. They breed in the dry season, which is when food is plentiful. The female lays an egg clutch that ranges from two to three eggs, which are incubated for about 28 days. In the initial few weeks after hatching, the chicks are fed by their parents through regurgitation. Macaws are then able exploring and learning to feed themselves. They are also taught to fly and forage.

The species is expected to rebound from the decline, but it is in danger of being wiped out by habitat loss and illegal trapping of the bird for the pet market, and deforestation. About 20 glaucous macaws are estimated to be living in the wild. The IUCN has classified the bird as "Critically endangered, possibly extinct."
