Melody blue spix macaw (yogaasanas.science)

After a long period filled with speculation and worry Brazilians and German conservationists were able to successfully reintroduce a couple of couples back into their natural habitat. Their story is inspiring, but also filled with backbiting and jealousies.

The first obstacle was to get enough birds to be traded. The macaws were monogamous, therefore it was essential to match pairs well.

Range

A South African couple is working to save the critically endangered Spix's Darling hahns macaw which was declared extinct in 2000 following decades of poaching and loss of habitat. They have a small population of the birds kept in captivity, and hope to release them into the wild near Curaca. They call the birds little blue friends, and compare their journey to the story of Presley the only known Spix's Macaw in the wild. They say he was a true survivor, who lost his family, but remained loyal to the area. They consider their lives in the Caatinga as akin to his and feel a strong affinity with him.

Researchers were able to study the behavior of the Spix's Macaw in the wild, and to better understand the reasons why this species has survived for so long. Researchers were able to estimate the population of this rare bird more precisely. Researchers were able to gather crucial data on the bird's daily movements, its seasonal adaptation to drought, and eating habits. Researchers also monitored attempts to reproduce using an Illiger's and a Spix's hybrid macaw couple which was a crucial step towards the recovery of this species.

It was an amazing feat that this bird was able to endure and thrive in the wild with such a limited gene pool, and it has also helped scientists to understand how these birds could be reintroduced back to the wild. The last bird's survival also inspired people to take action to save other species of endangered parrots. This has also encouraged zoos to establish their own captive breeding program for these exotic bird species.

This group of experts is a model for how conservation groups and other organizations can collaborate to protect endangered species of wildlife and animals. The group is comprised of Brazilian government officials, zoo reps, international holders of the Spix’s macaw keycaps and ornithologists with an aim in common to save this unique bird.

The group has already accomplished a lot of work. This includes preparing an approach to reintroduce this bird back to the wild. The group has also worked to raise funds to support field research as well as community outreach and captive-breed birds for the reintroduction program. It has also established an ongoing committee to oversee the recovery of the bird.

Habitat

Ten years ago, the Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta Spixii) was believed to be extinct. It was endangered by the destruction of habitat and poaching that was illegal. Today, aviculturists and ornithologists continue to tirelessly work to bring this iconic bird back from the danger of extinction.

A cult animated film and two sequels have made the Spix's macaw recognizable to millions of people worldwide, but this is just the tip of the iceberg in the long journey to save these birds from the brink. For decades, an international team has been trying to breed and reintroduce Spix's macaws that have been raised in captivity into the wild.

The Spix's Macaw is a native species found in a tiny region of northeast Brazil known as the Caatinga. This arid region has flat savannah scrubland that is which is surrounded by galleries and streams that flow through the season. It was first described in 1819, and is among the least-known Neotropical Parrots. There are only sporadic sightings in the wild, with a few birds that are kept in captivity and a handful of museum specimens.

To save the declining population To help save the declining population, a global group was formed. It was comprised of experts in aviculture who had the last remaining bird as well as government officials. The group formed a collaboration with the 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 also breeds and raises birds that will be released in the wild. This will give an animal that is genetically pure for the future generations.

In the wild, Spix's macaws are found in trees and are seldom seen on the ground. They nest in tree hollows or holes and search for fruits, seeds, nuts, and other species. They typically spend up to one third of the day in the nest.

To aid in tracking the Spix's macaws and their movements, a local community was invited to join the field team. Members of the community were provided watches which could be activated if the Spix's chestnut fronted macaw was detected, allowing them to keep track of the birds and their movements throughout the wild. This method has proven to be extremely successful.

Diet

The Spix's Macaw is the only species of the Genus Cyanopsitta. It was listed as extinct in the wild in 2019 by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature following the disappearance of the last known wild parrot disappeared in 2000. subsequent surveys failed to find any additional birds. However, a reintroduction project is currently in progress to restore this critically endangered bird to its natural habitat in the Caatinga.

This region in northeast Brazil covers approximately 10% of the entire country. Spix's Macaws were a nesting species in the hollows of old caraibeira trees and were known to eat seeds and nuts.

Reintroduction of the Spix's Macaw into the wild is in progress. Eight birds that were raised in captivity were released into the wild in June and 12 more are scheduled to follow in 2022. They will be joined by a group of Blue-winged Macaws. They have been reintroduced to the same area and will assist to share knowledge of food sources, nesting and roosting sites.

The reintroduction program has collected vital biological data about the behavior of this bird, including details about daily movement patterns and adjustments to drought. It has also provided a glimpse into the natural history of Spix's Macaws, which aids in understanding the causes that led to their disappearance.

Spix's Macaws consume the fruits, nuts and seeds of a myriad of plants native to the Caatinga Biome. Pinhao-bravo and linhas Brasil, as well as facheiro (Pilosocereus Pachycladus) are all part of this diet. The acai palm (Acaia olive) and mofumbo (Combretum léprosum) fruits are also edible.

Spix's Macaws, like all parrots as well as other birds are social birds that have close relationships with their parents. They are vocal and often mimic other sounds and words. They have a mating cry known as "whichaka," described as an incredibly short and repetitive sound that resembles the note of a flutist. They are well-known for flying high and fast when they are in the mood to breed.

Breeding

Spix's Macaws are extremely intelligent and social birds. They communicate using screeching, squawking, and other sounds. Like many parrots they are able to mimic human speech. They follow a strict routine, which includes routines for bathing and flight. They can also recognize other members of their flock. This is why they are so popular pets, and also a target for the illegal bird trade.

By the early 1980s, only three Spix's Macaws were left in the wild, and all of them poached. In 1995, poachers massacred the male and female birds as part of the hope of pairing them. Since then, all Spix's Macaws known have been bred in captivity - mostly in Brazil.

The Spix's Macaws that are in captivity are a mix of birds, and are the descendant of just two individuals. This makes them more vulnerable to illnesses and other environmental issues. The majority of Spix's macaws captivity reside in a breeding center in Germany. However, this year an agreement between a German conservation center and Brazilian government ran out which leaves the future plans for repatriation and their reintroduction into the wild in doubt.

Despite their low numbers of captive-bred Spix's macaws, captive-bred species show some signs of improvement. This was evident when the Swiss breeder beat the sheikh of Qatar to buy three Spix's Macaws from the collector.

In part due to this and other efforts the captive-bred bird population is beginning to grow, but not at a speedy pace. Reintroducing the birds to the wild will require that they stay healthy and produce. It is crucial to select the right birds before releasing them. The macaws need to be in a reproductive stage, and they should be paired with a sibling or a close relatives.

Bringing the Spix's macaw back to the wild may prove difficult, but it is important to try. ABC and its partners have developed a reserve system to protect the last remaining habitats of this species. The eight Spix's macaws that were recently released will be joined by blue-winged Macaws. These macaws are common in Caatinga, and they live in areas where the Spix’s macaws are also. These birds will help the macaws become accustomed to their new environment and will also ensure safety through large numbers.
