Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous Macaw is one of the world's rarest birds. It is critically endangered and could even be extinct.

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

Origin

The Glaucous macaw is a threatened parrot species that is native to South America. This magnificent bird is characterized by a blue feather pattern, and a strong beak that can break open seeds and nuts. Glaucous Macaws are monogamous pairs and both parents tend the chicks. They feed the chicks a diet of regurgitated food for the first couple of weeks after birth, and then they begin to eat solid food as they grow. Parents play a crucial role in teaching the young macaws how to fly and forage.

The glaucous macaw is considered to be extinct in the wild, however rumors of this beautiful bird's existence are still spreading across the globe. The Glaucous Macaw is believed have been extinct in the 1800s due to logging and cattle grazing on yatay (Butia) palm groves from which the birds would gather their food. It is currently believed that the glaucous Catalina macaw for sale has returned to captivity, where it is often kept alongside its larger cousin Lear's macaw.

The glaucous Macaw can be found in sub-tropical rainforests of South America. They are usually found in areas that have numerous palm trees.

Over the years there have been many reports about the glaucous severe macaw price however they are generally regarded as unreliable. The most recent wild claim was made by an avicultural acquaintance of Ridgely who claimed to have spotted four Glaucous Macaws in Califomia. This claim is unacceptable until it can backed up with hard evidence. Many experts have concluded that this bird is likely to be extinct since there are no evidence of it in the last century. However they have been willing to accept a slim chance of its survival. If it is able to survive it is highly unlikely to make it to huge numbers.

Habitat

The Glaucous Macaw is a stunning bird, known for its huge size and turquoise-blue coloring. Its wings and tail feathers are long, which aids in its graceful and agile moves. This bird is also an emblem of loyalty and love. Its beak, which is primarily black, has a distinctive shape and allows it to break seeds and nuts. These are a large portion of its diet.

The species was once fairly widespread but now it is found only in northern Argentina as well as southern Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards where it is nestled in cliffs on major rivers.

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

Re-evaluation of the historical records suggests that this species was a rather generalist in its habitat preferences, with a preference for the savanna ecosystem, which was interspersed with palm "islands" and areas of riparian forest along rivers. It was a specialist feeder of palm fruit, especially those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However, it also ate ripe and unripe fruits as well as berries, nuts and 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, just like other parrots. It was believed that it could live 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 50-80 years. This species was a formidable seed disperser and could have contributed to the success of the yatay palm in its native habitats.

Feeding

This massive South American bird is known for its vivid blue feathers and eyes that are yellow, as well as its distinctive teardrop-shaped lappet that brackets the lower portion of its beak.

Up until recently, very little was known about feeding habits and diet of the Glaucous macaw. The earliest detailed references that I have located 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 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 pets was a particular for the consumption of palm nuts. It also consumed other seeds, fruits and vegetable matter in small amounts. The diet of this species was likely heavily influenced by the clearing of forests for agriculture and cattle-ranching by early colonists as well as the yatay (Butia) palms from which it got a large portion of its nutritional value.

In the wild, it was common to find the Glaucous severe macaw price in savannahs and subtropical forests where palm trees were present. It hid in tree cavities or on rocky banks and palm fronds. On average two clutches of eggs was laid and then incubated by the female.

Unfortunately the Glaucous Macaw has been eradicated from most of its 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 to habitat, particularly the mass clearing of palm yatays which may have been its primary food source. The Glaucous macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous Macaws form monogamous pairs. Both parents are involved in raising their young. They breed in the dry season, when the food supply is at its highest. The female lays a clutch of two to three eggs that are incubated for about 28 days. For the first few weeks after hatching, the chicks are fed by their parents via regurgitation. The young hybrid macaws for sale then begin to explore their surroundings and learn to eat themselves. They also learn to fly and forage.

The glaucous Macaw is very social bird. They are active during daylight hours and rest during the night. In the evening, they will often seek shelter inside tree cavities or other suitable nesting places. They are very vocal and their calls can be heard throughout the forest during the day.

The species is expected to rebound from the decline, however it is facing numerous threats, including habitat loss and illegal trapping of the bird for the pet market, and deforestation. About 20 glaucous macaws are believed to exist in the wild. The IUCN classifies the bird as "Critically Endangered, possibly extinct."
