Glaucous Macaw
The glaucous Macaw is one the rarest birds in the world. It is Critically Endangered and could become extinct in the wild.
Various birdwatchers have reported sightings this bird However, the most recent sighting was in 1992. This alleged sighting occurred in southwestern Paraguay close to the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.
Origin
The Glaucous severe macaw is an endangered parrot species native to South America. This magnificent bird is distinguished by the blue feather pattern and a powerful beak that can break open nuts and seeds. Glaucous macaws have been known to form long-term monogamous couples and both parents help raise the chicks. They feed the chicks regurgitated food for the first few weeks after birth, and then they begin eating solid foods as they grow. Parents are a key part of teaching the young macaws how to fly and hunt.
The glaucous Macaw is extinct, yet rumors of its existence continue to circulate all over the world. The glaucous Macaw is believed to have gone extinct in the 1800s due to the logging industry and cattle grazing in yatay (Butia) palm groves where the birds gathered their food. The glaucous Macaw is believed to have made a comeback, and is often kept with its larger mate, Lear's macaw.
In terms of habitat, the glaucous macaw can be found in the sub-tropical forests of South America. They are typically located in areas where there are many palm trees. They are also extremely adaptable to different types of forested environments. These beautiful birds are known to be extremely territorial and will protect their feeding and nesting areas from trespassers.
There have been a number of reports on the glaucous macaw over the years, but most are considered to be not reliable. The most recent report of a wild incident is an avicultural acquaintance of Ridgely's who claimed to have witnessed four Glaucous macaws in Califomia. This claim is untrue until it can backed up by solid evidence. Many experts have concluded that the bird is likely extinct as 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 uncommon to witness large numbers.
Habitat
The glaucous macaw is a striking bird, renowned for its large size and striking turquoise-blue coloration. Its wings and tail feathers are long, which aids in its graceful and agile movement. The bird is an emblem of loyalty and love. Its beak is predominantly black and has a distinctive shape that allows it to break open nuts and seeds, which make up a large portion of its diet.
The Glaucous Macaw is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN which states that it has a small population and is at high risk of extinction. This species was once widespread, but is now only found in northern Argentina and south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay as well as Brazil and Brazil from Parana state to south, where it nests in cliffs along major rivers.
Although there haven't been any reliable sightings of this species since 1830 however, the Glaucous Macaw seemed not to be very rare in its relatively limited range; specimens were taken up to 1860 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous Macaw was exhibited at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to be from Brazil.
The reassessment suggests that the species is a generalist and prefers savanna habitat which is surrounded by palm "islands", and bands of riparian forests along rivers. It was a particular eater of palm fruits, particularly those of the chatay palm (Butia yatay) however, it could also consume ripe and unripe fruits as well as berries, nuts and vegetable matter. It nestled on steep slopes and in cliffs, sometimes in tree cavities and laid an average clutch of two eggs.
This bird was likely to be gregarious and social, like other parrots. It could live for up to 14.8 years in captivity and was believed to be a reliable breeder that reproduced year after year. The lifespan of the species in the wild was perhaps between 50 and 80 years. This species was a powerful seed disperser, and could have contributed to the success of the yatay palm in its natural habitats.
Feeding
The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is among the most beautiful of the parrot species and has a an enormous impact on its environment. This huge South American parrot is known for its bright blue feathers, yellow eyes, and the teardrop-shaped lipped on the lower part its beak.
In the past, little was known about diet of the Glaucous macaw keycaps. The first detailed references I have found are two works by H.W. Bates' "The Naturalist on Amazons" first published in 1863, which describes his 11-year journey in Brazil. Later in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests", he wrote about the same experience. Both of these are about the Hyacinthine Macaw (Anodorhynchus aureolarius), but I have no reason to believe that they're not applicable to this species.
It is likely that the Glaucous Macaw was a specialist for the consumption of palm nuts. It also ate other seeds, fruits and vegetable matter in smaller 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 as well as the removal of the yatay palm (Butia yatay) from which it could have received much of its nutrition.
In the wild the Glaucous Macaw was found in subtropical forests containing the savannahs and cliffs surrounded by palm trees, where it nested in tree cavities and on rocky banks, or in the top of palm fronds. On average two clutches of eggs was laid and then incubated by the female.
The young Glaucous Macaws are altricial, meaning they rely on their parents to look after them until they become fully grown and fly. Both males and females are extremely dedicated to their young and will constantly hunt for food and protect them from predators.
Unfortunately the Glaucous Macaw has been eliminated from the majority of its former range. The disappearance of this majestic bird is probably due to the continued trapping of pets for the pet trade as well as disturbance of habitat, especially 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 usually form long-term monogamous pairs and both parents play part in raising the young. They breed during the dry season, when the availability of food is at its greatest. Females lay two to three eggs that are incubated by the mother for about 28 days. After hatching, they are fed by their parents through regurgitation for the first few weeks of their lives. The macaws' young begin to explore their surroundings and learn to eat themselves. They also learn to fly and hunt for food.
Like all birds, glaucous macaws are social animals. They are active during the day but sleep at night. In the evening they usually seek refuge in tree cavities or other nesting spots that are suitable. Their calls can be heard in the forest throughout the day.
The species is expected to recover from the decline, however it is in danger of being wiped out by habitat loss and illegal trapping of the bird for the pet market, and deforestation. It is estimated that there are only about 20 glaucous macaws that are in the wild. The IUCN has classified the bird as "Critically endangered--possibly extinct."

This magnificent bird is an emblem of South American biodiversity. Its elegant appearance is reflected with its slim body, bright blue feathers and its light build. The beak is curved and black, which helps it crack open the nuts and seeds which comprise a significant portion of its diet. It's a stunning bird, and it's often featured in shows featuring birds.
