Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous Macaw is among the rarest birds in the world. It is in serious danger and could be extinct.

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

Origin

The Glaucous Macaw is a bird native to South America. It is endangered. This magnificent bird features a distinctive blue feather pattern as well as a powerful beak that is capable of breaking open hard seeds and nuts. Glaucous macaws have been known to form long-term monogamous families and both parents are involved in the raising of the chicks. The chicks are fed a diet of regurgitated food during the first few weeks of life and then a variety of solid foods as the chicks develop. The parents also are a key part of teaching the young macaws how to fly and forage.

The glaucous macaw is considered to be extinct in the wild, but rumors of this beautiful bird's existence persist all over the world. The glaucous spix macaw lifespan is believed to have gone extinct in the 1800s because of logging and cattle grazing on yatay (Butia) palm groves from which the birds gathered 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.

In terms of habitat, the glaucous macaw can be found in sub-tropical forests of South America. They are typically found in areas with many palm trees. They are also extremely adaptable to different types of forest habitats. These beautiful birds can be territorial and defend the nesting and feeding areas from intruders.

Over the years there have been many reports about the glaucous Macaw 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 completely unacceptable until it is confirmed with hard evidence. The lack of any acceptable evidence of this bird in the last century has led many experts to conclude that it is likely extinct, however they have always accepted an extremely remote possibility of its existence (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it does survive it will be very uncommon to witness large numbers.

Habitat

The glaucous macaw is a striking bird, renowned for its large size and striking turquoise-blue coloring. The tail feathers and wings are long, which enhances its graceful and agile movements. The bird is a symbol of loyalty and love. Its beak, which is primarily black, has a distinct shape that allows it crack nuts and seeds. These are a large part its diet.

IUCN has classified the Glaucous Macaw as Critically Endangered. It notes that there is a small population of this bird, and that it is at a high-risk of extinction. The species was once widespread however, it is now found in northern Argentina and south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay 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 limited range, even though there were no reliable sightings since 1830. There were specimens taken up until the year 1850 (in Corrientes). The last living Glaucous Macaw, believed to be from Brazil, was exhibited in the Buenos Aires Zoo back in 1936.

The reassessment suggests that the species is buy a macaw generalist and prefers the savanna habitat, which is interspersed with palm "islands" and bands of riparian forests along rivers. It was a particular eater of palm fruits, especially those of the yatay or chatay palm (Butia yatay) but it was also likely to consume ripe and unripe fruits as well as berries, nuts and vegetable matter. It nests on slopes that are steep or in cliffs, and also in tree cavities.

Like other parrots, this bird was social and was probably gregarious. It was said that it could live up to 14.4 years in captivity, and was a reliable breeder who reproduced year after year. The lifespan of the species in the wild was perhaps between 50 and 80 years. This species was a powerful disperser of seeds and may be a factor in the success of the palm yatay in its natural habitats.

Feeding

The Glaucous spix Macaw Characteristics (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is among the most magnificent of all the species of parrots, and its presence commands an enormous impact on its surroundings. This huge South American bird is known for its vivid blue feathers and yellow eyes as well as the distinctive teardrop-shaped lipped sleeve that covers the lower portion of its beak.

Up until recently, very little was known about the feeding 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" which was first published in 1863, describes his 11-year sojourn in Brazil. Later in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests" He wrote about the similar experience. Both of them 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 believed to have been a specialist eater, consuming only palm nuts as well as tiny amounts of other fruits, seeds and vegetable matter. The diet of this species is likely to be affected by the clearing of forests by early colonists to cultivate and cattle ranching, as well as the removal of the yatay palm (Butia yatay) from which it could have gotten its majority of its diet.

In the wild, the Glaucous Macaw was found in subtropical forests that had mountains and savannahs that were surrounded by palm trees, where it nested in tree cavities, on rocky banks or the top of palm fronds. On average two eggs were laid in a clutch. eggs was laid and incubated by the female.

The young Glaucous Macaws rely on their parents to provide care until they fly and become fully fledged. Both the male and female are extremely committed to their offspring and constantly hunt for food and defend them from predators.

Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous Macaw has been extirpated from most of its former range. The disappearance of this majestic bird is most likely due to the ongoing trapping of pets for the pet trade as well as disturbance to habitat, specifically the massive removal of yatay palms which it may have obtained its main food supply. The Glaucous macaw is listed under Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous macaws typically form long-term monogamous couples and both parents play a role in raising the young. They breed in the dry season when food availability is at its greatest. Females lay an egg clutch that ranges from two to three eggs, which are incubated for about 28 days. For the first few weeks after hatching, the chicks are fed daily by their parents via regurgitation. The young macaws then begin to explore and learn to feed themselves. They also learn how to fly and hunt for food.

Like all birds, glaucous macaws are highly social creatures. They are active during daylight hours, and take a break at night. At night, they will often seek refuge inside tree cavities or other nesting spots that are suitable. They are very vocal and their calls can be heard throughout the forest during the day.

The species is expected to recover 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 estimated to be living in the wild. The IUCN classifies the bird as "Critically Endangered - possibly Extinct."

The glaucous Macaw is sometimes referred to as Lear's spix macaw for sale or Blue-throated Hummingbird, is distinguished by its vivid blue feathers. It is a large bird, with a length of 70 centimeters and features a robust beak that can break open tough nuts and seeds.
