A variety of Aviculturalists have reported sightings of this bird however the most recent sighting was in 1992. This alleged sighting occurred in the southwestern region of Paraguay, near the city of Corrientes. The bird was male.
Origin
The Glaucous Macaw is buying a macaw species of parrot native to South America. It is endangered. This magnificent bird has a unique blue feather pattern and strong beak that is capable of cracking open tough seeds and nuts. Glaucous Macaws form monogamous long-term pairs and both parents care for the chicks. The chicks are fed regurgitated food in the first few weeks of life before being fed solid food as they grow. Parents also play a vital role in teaching young macaws to fly and forage.
The glaucous macaw is considered to be extinct in the wild, yet reports of this beautiful bird's existence continue to spread all over the world. The glaucous macaw pet store is believed to be extinct by the 1800s because of logging and cattle grazing on yatay (Butia) palm groves from which the birds would gather their food. It is believed that the glaucous Macaw has made a comeback in captivity, where it is often kept with its larger cousin Lear's macaw.
The glaucous Macaw can be found in sub-tropical rainforests of South America. They are usually found in areas that have plenty of palm trees, and they are believed to be extremely adaptable to different types of forested habitats. These beautiful birds are territorial and defend the feeding and nesting area from intruders.
In the past, there have been a variety of reports on the glaucous Macaw however they are generally not considered reliable. The most recent wild claim was made by an avicultural acquaintance of Ridgely who claimed to have spotted four Glaucous Macaws in Califomia. This is completely untrue until it is verified by hard evidence. The absence of any reliable records of this bird in the past century has led many experts to conclude that it is likely extinct, yet they have always accepted a remote possibility of its existence (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a). If it survives it is highly unlikely to make it to huge numbers.
Habitat
The glaucous macaw is a striking bird that is renowned for its huge size and dazzling turquoise-blue coloration. The tail and wings are long, which aids in its graceful and agile movements. It is also a symbol of affection and loyalty. Its beak, which is mostly black, has a distinctive shape and allows it to crack nuts and seeds. They are a significant part its diet.
IUCN has classified the Glaucous Macaw as Critically Endangered. It states that there is a very small population of the bird, and that it is at a the risk of becoming extinct. This species was formerly relatively widespread, but it is found only in northern Argentina, southern Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards, where it is nestled in cliffs on major rivers.
Although there have been no reliable sightings of this species since 1830, the Glaucous Macaw seemed not to be very rare in its limited range. specimens were captured from 1830 to 1850 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous macaw representative species was exhibited at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to have come from Brazil.
The reassessment suggests that the species is a generalist and prefers the savanna habitat, which is which is surrounded by palm "islands", and riparian forests along river systems. It was a particular in the consuming of palm fruit particularly those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However, it also ate ripe or unripe fruits and berries, nuts, and other vegetable matter. It nests on slopes that are steep, in cliffs and sometimes in tree cavities.
Like other parrots, this bird was social and probably gregarious. It was reported that it could live for up to 14.4 years in captivity and was a reliable breeder who reproduced year after. In the wild, the lifespan was likely to be between 50 and 80 years. This species was a potent disperser of seeds, and could be a factor in the success of the palm yatay in its natural habitat.
Feeding
The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is among the most beautiful of the species of parrots, and its presence commands an immense impact in its surroundings. This large South American parrot is known for its bright blue feathers, bright yellow eyes, and the teardrop-shaped lipped on the lower portion of its beak.
In the past, little was known about feeding habits of the Glaucous Macaw. The first detailed references I have come across are two works by H.W. Bates' "The Naturalist on Amazons" first published in 1863, describes his 11-year journey in Brazil. Later, in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests" Bates wrote about the similar experience. Both are about the Hyacinthine Macaw Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. I have no reason to think that they could not apply to this species.
It is likely that the Glaucous Macaw was a specialized in the consumption of palm nuts, and also ate other seeds, fruits and vegetable matter in smaller quantities. The diet of this species was likely affected by the clearing of forests to cultivate cattle and the cattle-ranching practices of early colonists, and the removal of yatay (Butia) palms from which it received much of its nutrition.
In the wild the Glaucous Macaw was found in subtropical forests containing mountains and savannahs that were surrounded by palm trees, where it nestled in tree cavities, on rocky banks or the palm fronds' top. The female incubates and lays two eggs on average.
The young Glaucous Macaws rely on their parents to provide care until they are able to fly and are fully grown. Both the males and females are very committed to their offspring and will hunt for food and protect them against predators.
Unfortunately, the Glaucous spix's macaw lifespan (Full Review) isn't present in the majority of its former habitat. The disappearance of this magnificent bird is probably due to the continued trapping of pets for the pet trade, as well as disturbance of habitat, especially the wholesale clearing of yatay palms from which it could have gotten its main food supply. The Glaucous macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.
Breeding
Glaucous Macaws form monogamous couples. Both parents are involved in raising their children. They breed in the dry season when the availability of food is at its highest. Females lay up to three eggs, which are incubated by the mother for about 28 days. Once the chicks hatch they are fed by their parents via regurgitation for the first few weeks of life. Macaws are then able exploring and learning to feed themselves. They are also taught how to fly and hunt for food.
Like all species of birds, glaucous macaws are highly social creatures. They are active during daylight hours, and rest at night. They often seek refuge in tree cavities or other suitable nesting sites to sleep. They are very vocal and their calls can be heard throughout the forest during the day.
The species is expected to recover from the decline, but it is facing numerous threats, including habitat loss, illegal trapping of the bird for pet trade, and deforestation. About 20 glaucous macaws are estimated to be living in the wild. The IUCN classifies the bird as "Critically Endangered--Possibly Extinct."
The glaucous Macaw, also known as Lear's Macaw, or the blue-throated Hummingbird is distinguished by its vivid blue feathers. The parrot measures 70 centimeters long and features a an impressive beak that is capable of breaking open seeds and nuts. This beautiful bird is native South America and can be found in various habitats such as grasslands, lowland forests and wetlands.
This magnificent bird is a symbol of South American biodiversity. Its elegant appearance is reflected with its slender body, vibrant blue feathers and its light build. Its beak is curvaceous and black, which helps it open the seeds and nuts that make up a major portion of its diet. It's a stunning bird, and it is often seen in shows featuring birds. It is also popular in captivity, where it can live for a long time.
