Their dependence on the palm swamps to nest and roost highlights the interconnectedness of nature's world and the importance of protecting endangered habitats. + +With its bright blue plumage and distinctive yellow accents, the macaw hyacinth is recognizable. Its apparent smiley beak packs an incredibly powerful bite that can break coconuts and huge brazil nut pods. + +The Hyacinth Macaw + +The hyacinth macaw is a stunning bird that is also the largest parrot. It has striking blue color with yellow accents around the eyes and lower part of the beak. This could make it appear as if it's smiling. It has short, sturdy legs that let it hang upside down or sideways, and a massive hooked beak that is specially adapted for cracking open coconuts. They are intelligent and social, and tend to stay with the same person throughout their lives. + +Hyacinth macaws are non-migratory, and their distribution is dependent on the availability of a specific palm species that are their primary food source. This is the major difference between macaws, and other parrots which are generally migration-oriented. + +A large portion of the hyacinth macaw's diet is comprised of the nuts of native palm trees, notably the acuri and bocaiuva. Their powerful beaks allow them to break open these hard seeds. They also eat fruit and other plant material. + +They are not migratory birds, and their population is closely linked to the availability of the acuri and bocaiuva palms that provide the majority of their food source. This is a major distinction between macaws and the majority of parakeets, who are more likely to be migratory. + +Contrary to most parrots, which prefer tropical rainforests with dense vegetation, the hyacinth macaw is able to be found in less forested areas, such as palm swamps and grasslands that have been flooded. The vast majority of the hyacinth macaw's population is found in the Pantanal, the world's biggest tropical wetland region in Brazil. + +Hyacinth Macaws, like other birds, [www.buy-macaw.Com](https://buy-macaw.com/) are monogamous. They pick a partner approximately 3-4 years old and stay with them their entire life. They are very social animals and will often interact with humans, however it is crucial to keep in mind that they are wild animals and should never be removed from their natural environment. + +If you'd like to spend time with an elegant, intelligent and spirited animal who can mimic your words, you should consider adopting your pet parrot from an aviculturist that breeds these incredible creatures. Selecting an aviculturist responsible and who is well-established is the best method to ensure that these incredible creatures will be cared for in the cage. + +The Glaucous Macaw + +The Glaucous Macaw, or Ara glaucus, is one of the most colorful birds found in the Amazon basin. This large parrot can be found in the tropical forests of South America. It has a blue-colored top and yellow underparts. This bird is extremely rare and classified as Critically endangered. The main reason for the decline of this bird is likely the trapping and sale of adult birds in the market for wild birds and the mass cutting down of the yatay (Butia) palms. + +The name of this bird comes from its strikingly blueish hue. It is described as pale turquoise to azure. The underparts of the bird have a yellowish hue, while its head is grey. It is smaller than the Lear's macaw and more slender than the hyacinth macaw. + +The glaucous Macaw isn't only a beautiful bird but also an indication of hope for the people living in the Amazon Basin. The glaucous macaw is expected to be found in the wild soon and that populations can be restored. This will ensure the future of the spectacular species. + +Although the glaucous macaw is thought to be extinct in the wild however, there have been a number of reputed reappearances over the years. In February 1992 the female specimen was discovered at Customs in Britain. It was a bird that was housed in a few of the most famous zoos in the world and, at the time, it was believed that this was an authentic glaucous macaw. + +The glaucous Macaw, which was believed to be authentic, was discovered to be a hybrid between the Lear's Hyacinth as well as macaws. Additionally, its azure coloring was actually more similar to that of the hyacinth macaw and it had been developed for the purpose breeding hybrids. + +Even even if the glaucous macaw were to appear in the wild once more it is highly unlikely that it can breed and produce healthy offspring. The bird has been endangered for too long and it would be tragic if this stunning tropical giant was to be permanently lost forever. + +The Origins of the Macaws + +Macaws can develop a close relationship with their humans and can be affectionate. They are very vocal birds, with a wide range of calls and songs. They also enjoy mimicking sounds, especially the human voice. Macaws that reside with humans may learn to imitate words. Macaws use loud, shrieking sounds to communicate with each other or to warn of danger. They will call from 5-10 minutes, several times a week. + +When a pair of macaws form a bond, they stay together until one macaw dies. They will groom each other's feathers at night and roost with one another. Once a year they will also mat by laying eggs in a nest constructed 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 protects chicks against predators. + +Macaws were considered companion birds by humans as they began to interact with them. They were seen as symbol of love and power, with their powerful beaks and vibrant blue feathers. People believed that the macaw could predict the future or answer their prayers. They were also used to frighten off snakes and crocodiles with their shrieking sounds. + +For a long time there was no information about the exact number of macaws in the wild that ever existed. There were records of a few specimens in captivity, but nobody knew where they originated from or what age they were. One of the most famous birds lived at Paris the Jardin d'Acclimatation from 1886 until 1905, while another inhabited an animal park in Buenos Aires from the 1920s until 1936. Despite these early records it was widely believed that the glaucous Macaw had gone extinct. + +However, in 2010, analysis of isotopes in eggshells and macaw feces showed that the glaucous Macaw does still exist in the wild in northwestern Mexico. The results 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 birds' apparent long-lived is due to the fact that they can adapt to their environment. They are able to survive in arid desert conditions for instance. + +The Future of the Macaws + +As the stories of the hyacinth macaw as well as the Glaucous macaw shows, parrots have an amazing ability to adapt to their environments. In the wild, they are able to travel for miles away from their homes to find new mates and nesting places. They also have the ability to mimic human speech. Their feet are designed to allow them to climb and perch in trees. They can carry food in their beaks. + +Parrots aren't domesticated like cats and dogs despite their natural capabilities. They are wild animals that must remain in the same way that their ancestors lived. If you are planning to bring one of these wild birds into your home, you should take care and consideration. Parrots are big and loud and they can cause harm to your furniture and home. The CITES list also includes the possibility of habitat loss and the over-collection of parrots for the pet industry. + +The Spix's Macaw is among of the most successful reintroduction projects. It was believed to be extinct until Helmut Sick, his field assistant Dante Teixera and their team discovered three of them in 1974 near Formosa do Rio Preto. At the time of the discovery the only pair of birds that were in captivity was at Al Wabra, Qatar. + +At a meeting held in Sao Paulo city, Purchase and other conservationists agreed that the only way to solve the problem was to release macaws into the wild. They needed to do it quickly, though, because the number of breeding pairs was low. Additionally, they needed to establish separate lineages at different breeding centers to ensure that a single pair of parents did not overwhelm the entire population with its genetics. + +The conservationists began to search Brazil for any Spix's macaws currently in private ownership that could be released for reintroduction. Owners initially were hesitant because they were afraid of being prosecuted for breaking a law that banned the export of animals. However, slowly, "one by one, people started coming forward," says Kiessling. \ No newline at end of file
