Glaucous Macaw

The glaucous Macaw can be described as one of the rarest birds in the world. It is in serious danger and could even be extinct.

A variety of birdwatchers have reported sightings 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 male.

Origin

The Glaucous macaw is a threatened parrot species native to South America. This magnificent bird features a distinctive Lolita blue & gold macaw feather pattern and a strong beak that is capable of breaking open hard seeds and nuts. Glaucous macaws have been known to form long-term monogamous couples and both parents assist in raising the chicks. They feed their chicks regurgitated food for the first couple of weeks after birth, and then they begin eating solid foods as they develop. The parents also are a key part of teaching the young macaws how to fly and forage.

A.jpgThe glaucous Macaw is extinct, yet rumors of its existence continue to circulate all over the world. The glaucous Macaw is believed to be extinct by the 1800s because of the logging industry and cattle grazing in yatay (Butia) palm groves where the birds gathered their food. The glaucous Macaw is believed to be making a comeback and is often kept with its larger relative, 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 that have plenty of palm trees, and they are known to be highly adaptable to different types of forested habitats. These beautiful birds can be territorial and will protect the nesting and feeding area from intruders.

There have been a number of reports involving the glaucous macaw throughout the years, but most are considered to be not reliable. The most recent report of a wild incident is an friend of Ridgely's that claimed to have witnessed four Glaucous macaws in Califomia. This is completely untrue until it can be verified with hard evidence. Many experts have concluded that the bird is likely to be extinct since there are no records from the last century. However, they have always been willing to accept a small chance of its survival. If it is able to survive, it will be extremely rare to see large numbers.

Habitat

The glaucous macaw is a striking bird that is known for its large size and striking turquoise-blue coloration. The tail feathers and wings are long, which enhances its graceful and agile movements. The bird is also an emblem of affection and loyalty. Its beak, which is predominantly black, has a distinctive shape and allows it to crack nuts and seeds. They form a large portion of its diet.

The Glaucous Macaw is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN and the IUCN states that it has an extremely small population and is at high danger of disappearing. This species was once widespread however, it is now found in northern Argentina and south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil and Brazil from Parana state to the south, where it is nestled in cliffs along major rivers.

While there have been no credible sightings of the species since 1830 The Glaucous Macaw seemed not to be extremely rare within its comparatively small range; specimens were captured up to 1850 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous Macaw was displayed at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to have come from Brazil.

Reassessment suggests that this species is a generalist and prefers the savanna habitat, which is that is interspersed with palm "islands" and riparian forests along river systems. It was a specific eater of palm fruits, especially those of the chatay or yatay palm (Butia yatay), but it could also consume ripe and unripe fruits as well as berries, nuts and vegetable matter. It nestled on steep slopes and in cliffs occasionally in tree cavities and laid an average clutch of two eggs.

This bird was likely to be gregarious and social, like other parrots. It was reported that it could live to 14.4 years in captivity and was a reliable breeder that reproduced year after year. In the wild, its life expectancy was probably between 50 and 80 years. The species was a strong disperser of seeds and may have contributed towards the success of the palm yatay in its natural habitat.

Feeding

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

Up until recently, very little was known about feeding habits of the Glaucous Macaw. The first detailed references 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 book "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 probable that the Glaucous harlequin macaw was a specialized in the consumption of palm nuts, and also took 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 cattle ranching and the destruction of the yatay palm (Butia yatay) from which it could have gotten a lot of its food.

In the wild the glaucous macaw, you can find out more, was found in subtropical forests with mountains and savannahs that were surrounded by palm trees where it nested in tree cavities, on rocky banks, or in the palm fronds' top. On average two eggs were laid in a clutch. eggs was laid and incubated by the female.

The young Glaucous Macaws are altricial, which means they depend on their parents to take care of them until they're fully grown and able to fly. Both the males and females are dedicated to their offspring, Glaucous Macaw and will hunt for food and defend them from predators.

Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous Macaw has been eliminated from most of its previous range. The disappearance of this majestic bird is likely due to the continuing 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 typically form long-term monogamous pairs, with both parents playing a role in raising the young. They breed in the dry season, when the food supply is at its highest. Females lay an egg clutch of between two and 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 macaws' young begin to explore their surroundings and begin to learn to eat themselves. They are also taught to fly and hunt for food.

Like all birds, glaucous macaws are social animals. They are active during daylight hours, and rest during the night. They usually seek shelter in cavities in trees or other suitable nesting places for the night. Their calls can be heard throughout the forest throughout the day.

While it is hoped that the species will recover from its decline in the wild, the bird is facing many threats, including loss of habitat illegal trapping for the pet trade and deforestation. It is believed that there are less than 20 glaucous macaws in the wild. The IUCN has classified the bird as "Critically endangered--possibly extinct."

The glaucous great green macaw is also known as the Lear's macaw or the blue-throated hummingbird. It can be distinguished by its vibrant blue feathers. The parrot measures 70 centimeters long and features a a powerful beak capable of breaking open seeds and nuts. This beautiful bird is native to South America, and it can be found in many habitats, including grasslands, forests, dry lowland, and wetlands.
