Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous Macaw is among the rarest birds in the world. It is in danger of disappearing and may even be extinct.

Many aviculturalists have reported sightings of this bird However, the most recent sighting was in 1992. The reported sighting was in southwestern Paraguay close to the city of Corrientes. The bird was a male.

Origin

The Glaucous macaw price is a threatened parrot species that is native to South America. This majestic bird is distinguished by blue feathers, and a strong beak that can break open nuts and seeds. Glaucous macaws form long-term monogamous families and both parents are involved in the raising of the chicks. They feed their chicks regurgitated food for the first couple of weeks after birth, before they begin eating solid food as they grow. Parents also are a key part of teaching young macaws to fly and hunt.

The glaucous macaw is considered to be extinct in the wild, but rumors of this beautiful bird's existence persist across the globe. It is estimated that the glaucous macaw was extirpated in the 1800s due to the logging industry and cattle grazing in yatay palm (Butia yatay) trees, where these birds mostly ate their food. It is believed that the glaucous macaw made a comeback in captivity and is usually kept alongside its larger cousin Lear's macaw.

The glaucous Macaw can be found in sub-tropical rainforests of South America. They are typically located in areas that have many palm trees. They are also highly adaptable to a variety of forested environments. These beautiful birds are territorial and will protect the nesting and feeding area from intruders.

Over the years there have been numerous reports about the glaucous Macaw, but they are generally not considered reliable. The most recent wild claim was made by an avicultural acquaintance of Ridgely who claimed to have spotted four Glaucous Macaws in Califomia. This is a completely absurd claim until it is confirmed with solid evidence. Many experts have concluded that this bird is likely extinct as there are no evidence of it in the last century. However they have always been willing to accept a small chance of its survival. If it is able to survive, it is extremely unlikely to be seen in large numbers.

Habitat

The macaw glaucous is an impressive bird that is known for its large size and dazzling turquoise-blue coloring. Its wings and tail feathers are long, enhancing its fluid and graceful movement. This bird is a symbol of love and loyalty. Its beak is predominantly black, and it has a distinctive shape that allows it to crack open seeds and nuts which make up a large part of its diet.

IUCN has classified the Glaucous Macaw as Critically Endangered. It notes that there is a small population of the bird and it is in the risk of becoming extinct. The species was once quite widespread, but today it is found in northern Argentina, southern Paraguay, north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards, where to buy macaws it nestted in cliffs along major rivers.

The Glaucous Macaw was not rare in its relatively small area, despite the fact that there were no reliable sightings after 1830. There were specimens taken up until the year the year 1860 (in Corrientes). The last living Glaucous mini macaw for sale, believed to originate from Brazil, Hyacinth Macaw price was exhibited in the Buenos Aires Zoo back in 1936.

A re-examination of the historical records suggests that this species was a rather generalist in its preferences for habitat and preferred savanna habitat intermingled with palm "islands" and forests of riparian along rivers. It was a specific feeder of palm fruits, specifically those of the chatay palm (Butia yatay) however, it could also feed on ripe and unripe fruits, nuts, berries and vegetables. It nests on steep slopes on cliffs, in cliffs, and occasionally in tree cavities.

Like all parrots, this bird was social and was likely to be gregarious. It could live up to 14.8 years in captivity. It was said to be a dependable breeder that reproduced year after year. In the wild, the lifespan was probably between 50 and 80 years. This species was a formidable seed disperser and could have contributed to the success of the yatay palm within its natural habitats.

Feeding

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

Up until recently, very little was known of the food habits and diet of the Glaucous macaw. The first references to the subject I have discovered are in two books by H.W. Bates' "The Naturalist on Amazons", first published in 1863, describes his 11-year journey in Brazil. Later, in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests" Bates wrote about the same experience. Both of them are about the Hyacinthine Macaw, Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. I have no reason to think that they could not apply to this species.

The Glaucous macaw is likely be a specialized feeder, taking only palm nuts however, there were also small amounts of other fruits, seeds and vegetable matter. The diet of this species is likely to have been influenced by the clearance of forests by the early colonists to cultivate and cattle ranching as well as the removal of the yatay palm (Butia yatay) from which it may have received much of its nutrition.

In the wild the Glaucous hyacinth Macaw price was commonly found in subtropical forests containing cliffs and savannahs with palm trees, where it nested in tree cavities and on rocky banks, or in the palm fronds' top. Females incubate and lay two eggs per.

Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous Macaw has been eradicated from the majority of its previous range. The disappearance of this magnificent bird is probably due to the continued trapping of pets for the pet trade as well as disturbance of habitat, especially the wholesale removal of yatay palms which it could have gotten its main food supply. The Glaucous Macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous macaws are typically monogamous pairs and both parents play part in raising the young. They breed in the dry season when food availability is at its greatest. The female will lay two to three eggs which are incubated by the mother for about 28 days. When the chicks are born, they are fed by their parents through regurgitation for the first couple of weeks of life. Macaws are then able exploring and learning to feed themselves. They also learn to fly and hunt for food.

The glaucous Macaw is a very social bird. They are active during the day, but are restful at night. They usually seek shelter in cavities in trees or other suitable nesting places for the night. Their calls can be heard in the forest throughout the day.

While it is believed that the species will be able to recover from its decline in the wild, the bird is facing numerous threats, such as the loss of habitat, illegal trapping for the pet trade and deforestation. It is estimated that there are less than 20 glaucous macaws living in the wild. The IUCN classifies the bird as "Critically Endangered--Possibly Extinct."
