Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous macaw is considered to be one of the rarest birds in the world. It is considered Critically Endangered, and may be extinct in the wild.

A variety of aviculturalists have reported sightings of this bird However, the most recent sighting was in 1992. This alleged sighting occurred in southwestern Paraguay, near the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.

Origin

The Glaucous macaw is a threatened parrot species that is native to South America. This magnificent bird is distinguished by the blue feather pattern and a sharp beak that is capable of breaking open seeds and nuts. Glaucous macaws form long-term monogamous pairs and both parents are involved in the raising of the chicks. The chicks are fed regurgitated food for the first couple of weeks of life and then a variety of solid foods as they grow. Parents are also responsible for teaching young macaws to fly and hunt.

The glaucous macaw is considered to be extinct in the wild, however reports of this beautiful bird's existence continue to spread across the globe. It is estimated that the glaucous macaw extinct in the 1800s because of logging and cattle grazing of yatay palm (Butia yatay) areas, where the birds mostly ate their food. It is currently believed that the glaucous macaw has returned to captivity and is usually raised alongside its larger relative, Lear's macaw.

The glaucous macaw keycaps lives in sub-tropical rainforests of South America. They are typically located in areas with numerous palm trees. They are also known to be very adaptable to various types of forest environments. These beautiful birds are also recognized as being very territorial and will protect their nesting and feeding areas from intruders.

There have been a number of reports about the glaucous macaw through the years, but they are considered to be not reliable. The most recent report of a wild event is an friend of Ridgely's that claimed to have witnessed four Glaucous macaws in Califomia. This is a completely absurd claim until it can be verified with solid evidence. The absence of any reliable data on this bird over the past century has been a reason for many experts to conclude that it is likely extinct, but they have always accepted a remote possibility of its existence (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it survives it is highly 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 long tail and wings accentuate its graceful and agile moves. This bird is a symbol of love and loyalty. Its beak is predominantly black and has a unique shape that allows it to open seeds and nuts which constitute a significant part of its diet.

IUCN has classified the Glaucous Paisley hyacinth macaw for sale as Critically Endangered. It states that there is a very small population of the bird and it is at high-risk of extinction. This species was once widespread but is now found in northern Argentina, south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay as well as Brazil and Brazil from Parana state to south, where it nests in cliffs that run alongside major rivers.

The Glaucous Macaw was not rare in its small range, despite the fact that there was no evidence of sightings after 1830. The specimens were collected up until the year 1860 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous Macaw was displayed at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to have come from Brazil.

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

This bird was likely gregarious and social, like other parrots. It was able to live up to 14.8 years in captivity and was said to be a reliable breeder, reproducing year after year. Its life expectancy in the wild was perhaps about 50 to 80 years. This species was a powerful disperser of seeds, and could have contributed towards the success of the palm yatay in its natural habitat.

Feeding

The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is one of the most stunning of the species of parrots, and its presence commands an immense impact in its environment. This massive South American parrot is known for its bright blue feathers, bright yellow eyes, and the teardrop-shaped lipped on the lower part its beak.

Until recently very little was known about diet of the Glaucous Macaw. The earliest detailed references that I have come across are two works by H.W. Bates' "The Naturalist on the amazons" which was first published in 1863, which describes his 11-year journey in Brazil. In his later book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests", he wrote about the similar experience. Both are about the Hyacinthine Macaw Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. There is no reason to believe that they don't apply to this species.

The Glaucous macaw is likely be a specialist feeder, consuming mainly palm nuts, but also small amounts of other seeds, hahns macaw for sale fruits and vegetable matter. The diet of this species was likely influenced by the clearing of forests for agriculture 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 macaw parrot cost was commonly found in subtropical forests containing the savannahs and cliffs surrounded by palm trees, where it nested in tree cavities, on rocky banks or the top of palm fronds. On average, a clutch of two eggs was laid and then incubated by the female.

The young Glaucous Macaws are altricial, meaning they depend on their parents to look after them until they become fully grown and able to fly. Both females and males are extremely dedicated to their offspring and constantly hunt for food and shield them from predators.

Unfortunately the Glaucous Macaw has been eradicated from its entire former range. The disappearance of this magnificent bird is likely to be due to trapping that continues for the pet industry as well as disturbance of habitat, specifically the mass removal of palm yatays, which could have been their primary food source. The Glaucous Macaw is listed as Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous macaws typically form long-term monogamous pairs with both parents taking part in raising the young. They breed during the dry season, which is when food is plentiful. The female will lay two to three eggs which are incubated by the mother for around 28 days. Once the chicks hatch they are fed by their parents via regurgitation for the first few weeks of life. Macaws are then able to explore and learn to feed themselves. They are also taught how to fly and forage.

The glaucous Macaw is extremely social bird. They are active during the day, but spend their nights resting. They usually seek shelter in tree cavities or other suitable nesting places to sleep. Their calls can be heard throughout the forest throughout the day.

The species is expected to rebound from the decline, however it faces many threats including habitat loss, illegal trapping of the bird for pet trade, and deforestation. Only about 20 glaucous Macaws are believed to be in the wild. The IUCN has classified the bird as "Critically endangered--possibly extinct."

The glaucous Macaw, also known as Lear's Macaw or Blue-throated Hummingbird is distinguished by its vivid blue feathers. The parrot measures 70 centimeters in length and has a powerful beaks that are capable of breaking open nuts and seeds. This gorgeous bird is native to South America, and it is found in a variety of habitats such as grasslands, forests, dry lowland and wetlands.

This magnificent bird is a symbol of South American biodiversity. Its elegant appearance is reflected with its slender body, vibrant Lolita blue & gold macaw feathers, and lightweight build. Its beak is curved and black, which aids it open the nuts and seeds that make up a major portion of its diet. It's a stunning bird, and it is often used in shows featuring birds. It is also popular in captivity where it can live a lifetime.
