Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous macaw is one of the rarest birds on earth. It is in danger of disappearing and may even be extinct.

The bird has been reported by aviculturists across the globe, but the latest sighting was recorded in 1992. This alleged sighting was in the southwest of Paraguay close to the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.

Origin

The Glaucous Macaw is a species of parrot native to South America. It is endangered. This magnificent bird is characterized by a blue feather pattern, and a strong beak that can break open nuts and seeds. Glaucous Macaws form monogamous long-term couples, and both parents raise the chicks. They feed the chicks regurgitated food for the first couple of weeks after birth, and then they begin to eat solid foods as they grow. Parents are also responsible for teaching young macaws to fly and hunt.

The glaucous miniature macaw for sale is thought to be extinct in the wild, however reports of this beautiful bird's existence continue to spread all over the world. The glaucous Macaw is believed to have been extinct in the 1800s because of the logging industry and cattle grazing in yatay (Butia) palm groves, where the birds would gather their food. It is currently believed that the glaucous spix macaw for sale has made a comeback in captivity in the wild, where it is kept with its larger cousin, Lear's macaw.

In terms of habitat, the glaucous macaw can be found in the sub-tropical forests of South America. They are typically located in areas with a lot of palm trees, and are known to be highly adaptable to various types of forested habitats. These beautiful birds are recognized as being very territorial and will protect their nesting and feeding areas from invaders.

Over the years there have been numerous reports of the glaucous macaw however they are generally not considered reliable. The most recent wild claim was reported by an avicultural friend of Ridgely who claimed to have spotted four Glaucous Macaws in Califomia. This claim is unacceptable until it can backed up with evidence. The absence of any credible evidence of this bird in the past century has led many experts to believe that it is extinct, yet they have always been willing to accept a remote possibility of its survival (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it does survive it is highly unlikely to make it to large numbers.

The Glaucous Macaw is a stunning bird, renowned for its large size and turquoise-blue coloration. The tail and wings are long, enhancing its fluid and graceful moves. This bird is a symbol of love and loyalty. Its beak, which is primarily black, is distinctive in its shape that allows it crack seeds and nuts. They are a significant part its diet.

The Glaucous Macaw is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN and the IUCN states that it has an extremely small population and is at high risk of extinction. The species was once widespread but is now found in northern Argentina, south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay, as well as Brazil from Parana state to south, where it nests in cliffs that run alongside major rivers.

The Glaucous Severe macaw for sale [http://W-be.Jp] was not rare in its relatively small range, despite the fact that there was no proof of sightings after 1830. There were specimens taken up until the year 1860 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous Macaw was seen at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to have come from Brazil.

Reassessment suggests that this species is buying a macaw generalist and prefers savanna habitat which is surrounded by palm "islands" and riparian forests along rivers. It was a specialized for the consumption of palm fruits, especially those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However it also ate ripe and unripe fruits, nuts, berries, and other vegetable matter. It is a nesting place on steep slopes, in cliffs and sometimes in tree cavities.

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

Feeding

The Glaucous Macaw is one of the most stunning parrots. Its presence can have a strong impact on the environment. This large South American parrot is known for its vibrant blue feathers, yellow eyes, and the teardrop-shaped lipped on the lower portion of its beak.

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

It is likely that the Glaucous Macaw was a specialist feeder of palm nuts and also took other seeds, fruits, and vegetable matter in small amounts. This species' diet was likely affected by the clearing of forests to cultivate cattle and the cattle-ranching practices of early colonists, as well the removal of yatay (Butia) palms from which it got a large portion of its nutritional value.

In the wild it was commonplace to find the Glaucous macaw in subtropical forests and savannahs where palm trees were present. It nestled in tree cavities, or on rocky banks or palm fronds. The female incubates and lays two eggs per.

Unfortunately the Glaucous Macaw has been extirpated from most of its previous range. The disappearance of the magnificent bird is likely due to the continued trapping of birds for the pet industry, as well as habitat disruption, especially the wholesale removal of palm yatays that may have been its primary food source. The Glaucous Macaw is listed as Critically Endangered.

Glaucous Macaws form monogamous long-term couples. Both parents are involved in the raising of their children. They breed in the dry season, when food is most abundant. The female will lay two to three eggs which are incubated by the mother for approximately 28 days.
