Glaucous Macaw
The glaucous Macaw is among the rarest birds in the world. It is Critically Endangered and could be extinct in the wild.
The bird has been reported by aviculturists in various countries, but the latest sighting was reported in 1992. The reported sighting was in the southwest of Paraguay close to the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.
Origin
The Glaucous macaw is an endangered parrot species that is native to South America. This magnificent bird is distinguished by blue feathers, and a strong beak that can break open nuts and seeds. Glaucous macaws form long-term monogamous pairs and both parents are involved in the raising of the chicks. The chicks are fed a diet of regurgitated food in the first few weeks of life before being fed solid food as the chicks develop. Parents are also responsible for teaching young macaws to fly and hunt.
The glaucous Macaw is extinct, but rumors about its existence continue to spread around the world. The glaucous Macaw is believed to be extinct by the 1800s due to the logging industry and cattle grazing in yatay (Butia) palm groves where the birds gathered their food. The glaucous Tallula indigo park mollie 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 sub-tropical forests of South America. They are usually located in areas with a lot of palm trees, and are believed to be extremely adaptable to different types of forested habitats. These beautiful birds can be territorial and will protect the feeding and nesting area from intruders.
There have been a number of reports about the glaucous macaw over the years, but many are considered to be unreliable. The most recent report of a wild incident is a friend of Ridgely's that claimed to have witnessed four Glaucous macaws in Califomia. This claim is unacceptable until it is substantiated with evidence. The lack of any acceptable records of this bird in the past century has caused many experts to think that it's likely extinct, but they have always accepted an extremely remote possibility of its existence (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it survives it will be very uncommon to see large numbers.
Habitat
The glaucous macaw is a striking bird that is known for its size and striking turquoise-blue coloration. The long tail and wings enhance its graceful and agile moves. The bird is a symbol of love and loyalty. Its beak is mostly black, and it has a distinctive shape that allows it to open seeds and nuts which comprise a large portion of its diet.
The Glaucous Macaw is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN which states that it has an extremely small population and is at high danger of disappearing. The species was once relatively widespread, but it is found only in northern Argentina, southern Paraguay, north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards. It nestted in cliffs along major rivers.
Although there haven't been any credible sightings of the species since 1830 however, the Glaucous Macaw seemed not to be a rare species in its relatively limited range; specimens were captured up to 1850 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous Macaw was exhibited at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to have come from Brazil.
A reassessment of the historical documents suggests that this species was a very generalist in its habitat preferences, with a preference for the savanna ecosystem, which was interspersed with palm "islands" and bands of riparian forest along rivers. It was a specialized for the consumption of palm fruits, especially those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However, severe macaw it also ate ripe and unripe fruits and berries, nuts, and even vegetable matter. It nestled on slopes and in cliffs, sometimes in tree cavities and laid an average clutch of two eggs.
Like all parrots, this bird was social and likely to be sociable. It was said that it could live up to 14.4 years in captivity and was a reliable breeder who reproduced year after year. In the wild, the lifespan was likely to be between 50 and 80 years. This species was a powerful seed disperser and may have contributed to the success of the yatay palm in its native habitats.
Feeding
The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is one of the most stunning of the species of parrots and its presence has an immense impact in its surroundings. This massive South American bird is known for its vivid blue feathers and yellow eyes, and also for 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 references to the subject I have found are in two publications by H.W. Bates' "The Naturalist on the amazons", first published in 1863, describes his 11-year sojourn in Brazil. Later, in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests" Bates wrote about the similar experience. Both of these refer to the Hyacinthine Macaw (Anodorhynchus aureolarius), but I have no reason to think that they're not applicable to this species.
It is likely that the Glaucous Macaw was a specialist feeder of palm nuts and also consumed other seeds, fruits and vegetable matter in smaller amounts. The diet of this species is likely to be influenced by the clearance of forests by early colonists for agriculture and cattle ranching, as well as the felling of the yatay palm (Butia yatay) from which it may have gotten its majority of its diet.
In the wild, the Glaucous Macaw was commonly found in subtropical forests containing the savannahs and cliffs surrounded by palm trees where it nested in tree cavities, on rocky banks, or in the top of palm fronds. On average two clutches of eggs was laid and incubated by the female.
The young Glaucous Macaws are altricial, meaning they rely on their parents to take care of them until they become fully fledged and can fly. Both males and females are extremely committed to their young and will tirelessly hunt for food and defend them from predators.
Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous Macaw has been extirpated from its entire former range. The disappearance of the majestic bird is likely to be due to continued trapping for the pet industry and disturbance to habitat, particularly the mass clearing of palm yatays which may have been its primary food source. The Glaucous Macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.
Breeding
Glaucous macaws usually form long-term monogamous pairs with both parents taking an active role in the raising of the young. They breed in the dry season, when the food supply is at its highest. Females lay a clutch of two to three eggs that are incubated for about 28 days. When the chicks are born, they are fed by their parents through regurgitation during the first few weeks of their lives. The young macaws then begin to explore and learn to feed themselves. They also learn to fly and forage.
Like all birds, glaucous macaws are social animals. They are active during the day but spend their nights resting. At night they usually seek refuge inside tree cavities or other nesting spots that are suitable. Their calls can be heard in the forest throughout the day.
Although it is hoped the species will be able to recover from its decline in the wild, the bird faces many threats, including loss of habitat and illegal trapping for pet trade and deforestation. It is estimated that there are just 20 glaucous macaws living in the wild. The IUCN classifies the bird as "Critically Endangered - possibly Extinct."
The glaucous Macaw is called the Lear's macaw or blue-throated hummingbird. It is distinguished by its vivid blue feathers. It is a large bird, measuring 70 centimeters in length, and has a strong beak that can break open seeds and nuts that are tough to break. This beautiful bird is native South America and can be found in a variety of habitats such as grasslands, lowland forests and wetlands.
This majestic bird is an emblem of South American biodiversity. Its elegant appearance is reflected with its slim body, bright blue feathers, and a light build. The beak is curved and black, which helps it crack open the seeds and nuts that make up a major portion of its diet. It is a stunning bird, and is frequently featured in birds shows. It is also popular in captivity, where it can live for a long time.
