Why Are the Hyacinth Macaw and Glaucous Macaw So Similar Despite their differences the two bird species share a common evolutionary story Their shared dependence on palm swamps for nesting and roosting demonstrates the interconnectedness between nature and the need to preserve habitats that are threatened The hyacinth Macaw can be easily identified by its bright blue feathers and yellow accents Its beak which appears be smiling is capable of tearing coconuts and brazil nuts Blondie scarlet macaw bird macaw is a stunning bird that is also the largest parrot It has striking blue color with yellow accents around the eyes and on the lower part of the beak This makes it appear like it is smiling It has short sturdy legs that permit it to hang upside down or sideways and a massive hook beak that is specially adapted to break open coconuts They are social and intelligent and are likely to remain with the same person for the duration of their lives Hyacinth Macaws arent migratory and their distribution depends on the availability of palm species which are their primary food source This is a major distinction between macaws and most other parrots which typically tend to be migratory A significant portion of the hyacinth macaws diet is made up of nuts from native palm trees specifically the acuri and the bocaiuva Their powerful beaks permit them to break open these seeds They also consume fruits and other plant materials They are not migratory birds and their population is closely linked to the availability of the palms acuri and bocaiuva that provide the majority of their primary food source This is a critical difference between macaws and most other parakeets who are more likely to be migrationoriented The hyacinth Macaw can be described as a parrot that can be found in areas with less dense forests such as palm swamps or grasslands that are flooded The majority 90 90 percent of the hyacinth Macaw population is found in the Pantanal region which is the largest wetland that is tropical in Brazil Like other birds that are monogamous hyacinth macaws too They select a partner at approximately 34 years old and stay with them their entire lives They are very sociable animals and are often seen interacting with humans but it is important to keep in mind that they are wild animals and should never be taken out of their natural environment If youd like to be surrounded by an intelligent beautiful and playful animal that can mimic your words you should consider adopting your pet parrot from an aviculturist who breeds these incredible creatures Selecting an aviculturist responsible and who is established is the best way to ensure that these incredible animals will be wellcared for in the cage The Glaucous Macaw The Glaucous Macaw or Ara Glaucus is among the most colorful birds found in the Amazon basin The large parrot is blue on the top parts and yellow underparts and is found in the forests of tropical South America It is a very rare bird and is classified as Critically Endangered The cause of this birds decline is most likely the trapping of live adults to the trade in wild birds and the massive thinning of yatay palms Butia yatay that appear to be the primary food source The name of this bird is derived from its striking blueish hue It is described in terms of pale turquoise to the color of azure The underparts of the bird have a yellowish hue while its head is grey It is smaller than the Lears Macaw and is more slender than the Hyacinth Macaw In addition to being a beautiful bird the glaucous Macaw has also become an emblem of hope for people living in the Amazon Basin It is hoping that the glaucous Macaw will soon be found in the wild and populations can be restored to ensure the continued existence of this spectacular species Although the glaucous macaw is believed to be extinct in the wild however there have been a number of reputed reappearances over the years One of the most exciting occurred in February 1992 when a female specimen arrived at Customs in Britain It was a bird which was housed in a few of the worlds leading zoos and at the time it was believed that this was an authentic macaw with glaucous The glaucous Macaw which was believed to be authentic was discovered to be a hybrid between the Lears Hyacinth and macaws Its azure coloring was more reminiscent of the hyacinths and had been bred to breed hybrids Even in the event that the glaucous Macaw does turn up in the wild again however it is not likely that it will be able to breed and produce healthy offspring The bird has been threatened for a long time It is tragic if this beautiful tropical giant was to disappear forever The Macaws Origins Macaws often develop an intense bond with their human companions and can be very affectionate They are vocal birds that can sing a variety of songs and calls They also enjoy mimicking sounds especially the voice of their human counterparts Macaws who live with humans can learn to mimic words The loud shrieking sounds that macaws emit are their natural method of communicating with fellow members of their flock or to warn of danger They call between 5 and 10 minutes frequently throughout the week If two macaws choose to join forces they will remain in a bond until one of them dies They will kiss feathers of each other and roost together in the evening Each year they also mat laying eggs in a nest that is constructed in an opening in the tree or a dirt hole on the cliff face The female incubates the egg for 12 weeks while the male gathers food and shields the chicks from predators Macaws were regarded as companion birds by humans once they began to interact with them They were considered to be symbols of love and power with their powerful beaks and vibrant blue feathers Many believed that a macaw could reveal to them the futures secrets or answer their prayers They were also used to scare away snakes and crocodiles by making their shrieking noise No one knew how many wild glaucous Macaws existed for many years There were reports of a few specimens that were in captivity but nobody knew where they came from or what age they were One of the most famous birds lived in Paris the Jardin dAcclimatation from 1886 until 1905 Another lived in a zoo near Buenos Aires during the 1920s to 1936 Despite these early records it was widely believed that the glaucous Macaw extinction was not confirmed In 2010 isotopic analysis of macaw feces and eggshells revealed that the glaucous macaw still exist in the wild in northwestern Mexico The findings of the study were published by Science The authors suggest that glaucous macaws in the wild likely came from a population located in the Paquime region in northern Chihuahua The apparent longevity of the birds is due to the fact that they are adaptable to their environment and can be able to survive in different conditions including desert conditions The Future of the Macaw Parrots are able to adjust to their environment in an amazing way In the wild parrots traverse miles to find nesting sites or mates They can also mimic human speech Their feet are shaped so that they can perch in trees and climb them They can carry food in their beaks Parrots are not domesticated like dogs and cats despite their natural abilities They are wild animals that have to live in the ways that their ancestors lived Because of their wild nature if you are planning to incorporate a parrot into your home ensure you are doing it with careful thought and care Parrots can be noisy and large and they may cause damage to your furniture and your home They are also listed on CITES because of excessive collection to trade in pets and habitat loss One of the best examples of a successful reintroduction project is the storied story of the Spixs Macaw which was thought to be extinct until Helmut Sick and his field assistant Dante Teixera spotted three birds close to Formosa do Rio Preto in 1974 At the time of the discovery the only pair of birds kept in captivity was in Al Wabra Qatar At a conference held in Sao Paulo city Purchase and other conservationists decided that the only solution to the problem was to release macaws into the wild The number of breeding pairs is extremely low which means they had to act swiftly In addition they had to create separate lines at the different breeding centres so that one pair did not overwhelm the entire population with its genes So conservationists began to search Brazil for any Spixs macaws that were in private hands which could be rehabilitated for reintroduction Owners were initially reluctant because they feared prosecution for violating a law that banned the export of animals Kiessling claims that one by one people began to come forward
