This also helped them create a more accurate estimate of the historic numbers of this unique bird. Researchers were able to gather crucial information on the bird's movements throughout the day and its seasonal adaptation to drought, and food habits. Researchers also monitored attempts to reproduce with an Illiger's and a Spix's hybrid macaw couple which was a crucial step in the recovery of this species.

It was an amazing feat that this bird was able to survive and thrive in the wild with such the smallest gene pool and it has helped scientists to understand how these birds could be returned to the wild. The survival of the last bird also inspired people to take action to save other parrots as well as threatened species. Zoos have also been enticed to develop their own captive breeding program for these exotic bird species.

This group is a great illustration of how conservation groups, other organizations and individuals can work together to save endangered animals and wildlife. The group is comprised of Brazilian government officials, representatives from zoos, international owners of the Spix's macaw and ornithologists with an aim in common to save this unique bird.

The group has accomplished a lot of work. This includes developing a plan to reintroduce the bird back to the wild.

It was described in 1819, and is among the smallest known Neotropical Parrots. There are only sporadic sightings in the wild, few birds that are kept in captivity and a few museum specimens.

To preserve the dwindling population, an international committee was established which brought together aviculturists who were the last to hold the birds as well as officials from the government. This group formed a partnership with the world-renowned non-profit organization Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation (AWWP) of Qatar to establish a rigorous program to reintroduce captive-bred Spix's macaws into their natural habitat in northeast Brazil.

AWWP has purchased and is renovating 2,380 hectares in Caatinga close to Curaca (Brazil) of the most pristine habitat. AWWP is also breeding and rearing birds that will be released into the wild, providing an incredibly pure genetic source of the animals for future generations.

In the wild, Spix's Macaws are found in trees and are seldom seen on the ground. They build nests in hollows or holes and forage in search of seeds, fruits, nuts, and various other plants. They will typically spend up to three-quarters of the time in the nest.

da.jpgTo aid in tracking the Spix's macaws as well as their movements local communities were invited to join the field team. The community was provided with watches that would turn on when Spix's Macaws are identified. This allowed them to monitor the birds in the wild as well as their daily activities. This approach has been extremely successful.

Diet

The Spix's hythian macaw for sale is the only species in the Genus Cyanopsitta.

Reintroduction of the Spix’s Fiona hyacinth macaw bird for sale into the wild is currently in progress. Eight captive-raised Spix's macaws were released into the wild in June. Twelve more birds are expected to be released by 2022.
