Glaucous Macaw

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

Various aviculturalists have reported sightings of this bird however the most recent sighting was in 1992. The alleged sighting was reported to be in the southwest of Paraguay close to the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.

Origin

The Glaucous Macaw Representative Species is a parrot native to South America. It is threatened. This magnificent bird is distinguished by a blue feather pattern, and a powerful beak that can break open seeds and nuts. Glaucous macaws are known to form long-term monogamous families and both parents help raise the chicks. They feed the chicks a diet of regurgitated food for the first few weeks after birth, before they begin eating solid foods as they develop. Parents are also responsible for 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 all over the world. It is estimated that the glaucous Macaw was extirpated in the 1800s because of cattle grazing and logging in yatay palm (Butia yatay) groves, where these birds typically gathered their food. The Glaucous Macaw is believed have returned, and is often kept with its larger mate, Lear's macaw.

The glaucous Macaw can be found in sub-tropical rainforests of South America. They are usually found in areas where there are many palm trees. They are also extremely adaptable to different types of forest environments. These beautiful birds are territorial and will defend the nesting and feeding area from intruders.

In the past, there have been a variety of reports about the glaucous Macaw However, they are generally not considered reliable. The most recent report of a wild event is an friend of Ridgely's who claimed to have observed four Glaucous macaws in Califomia. This is completely untrue until it is verified with solid evidence. The lack of any acceptable data on this bird over the past century has been a reason for many experts to believe that it is extinct, yet they have always been willing to accept an extremely remote possibility of its survival (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it survives, it is extremely unlikely to be seen in huge numbers.

Habitat

The macaw glaucous is an impressive bird that is renowned for its huge size and stunning turquoise-blue coloration. The tail feathers and wings are long, enhancing its fluid and graceful moves. The bird is also a symbol of affection and loyalty. Its beak is predominantly black and is distinctive in its shape. It allows it to crack open nuts and seeds, which comprise a large portion of its diet.

The Glaucous Macaw is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN which states that it has an extremely small population and is at a high risk of extinction. The species was once quite widespread, but today it is found in northern Argentina, southern Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards where it is nestled in cliffs on major rivers.

The Glaucous Macaw was not rare in its limited range, despite the fact that there was no evidence of sightings since 1830. There were specimens collected 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.

Re-evaluation of the historical records suggests that this species was rather generalist in its habitat preferences with a preference for savanna habitat intermingled with palm "islands" and bands of riparian forest along rivers. It was a specialised feeder of palm fruits, specifically those of the yatay or chatay palm (Butia yatay), but it was also likely to consume unripe and ripe fruit such as berries, nuts, and vegetables. It nestled on steep slopes and in cliffs occasionally in tree cavities and laid an average clutch of two eggs.

As with other parrots this bird was social, and was probably gregarious. It was reported that it could live for up to 14.4 years in captivity and was a reliable breeder that reproduced year after year. The lifespan of the species in the wild was perhaps about 50 to 80 years. This species was a powerful seed disperser and could have contributed to the success of the yatay palm in its natural habitats.

Feeding

The Glaucous Macaw is one of the most stunning parrots. Its presence can have an enormous impact on the environment. This large South American bird is known for its vibrant blue feathers and yellow eyes as well as its distinctive teardrop-shaped lipped sleeve that covers the lower part of its beak.

Until recently very little was known about the eating habits of the Glaucous Macaw. The first references to the subject I have found are in two works by H.W. Bates, "The Naturalist on the Amazons" first published in 1863, detailing 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.

It is probable that the Glaucous Macaw was a particular for the consumption of palm nuts. It also ate other seeds, fruits and vegetable matter in small amounts. The diet of this species is likely to have been influenced by the clearance of forests by the early colonists for agriculture and pathwel.co.kr cattle ranching, as well as the felling of the yatay palm (Butia yatay) from which it may have gotten a lot of its diet.

In the wild it was commonplace to find the Glaucous macaw in savannahs and subtropical forests where palm trees were present. It hid in tree cavities or on rocky banks or palm fronds. Females incubate and lay two eggs on average.

The young Glaucous Macaws are altricial, meaning they rely on their parents to take care of them until they're fully grown and able to fly. Both males and females are extremely committed to their offspring and constantly hunt for food and shield them from predators.

Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous chestnut fronted macaw for sale has been eliminated from the majority of its former range. The disappearance of this majestic bird is probably due to the ongoing trapping of pets for the pet trade, as well as habitat disturbance, particularly the mass removal of yatay palms where it could have gotten its main food supply. The Glaucous Macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous macaws are typically monogamous couples, http://urlky.com/macawkeycaps580474 with both parents playing part in raising the young. They breed in the dry season, when food is plentiful. Females lay up to three eggs, which are incubated by the mother for about 28 days. For the first few weeks after hatching the chicks are fed daily by their parents through regurgitation. The young hybrid macaws for sale begin to explore and learn to feed themselves. They are also taught how to fly and forage.

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

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. 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."
