They have a small population of the birds kept in captive, and they hope to release them into the wild near Curaca. They call them their blue-eyed friends and compared their experience to the story of Presley, the last known Spix's macaw purchase from the wild. They describe Presley as an authentic survivor who lost his family, but was loyal to his home. They believe that their lives in Caatinga as akin to his, and they feel a strong connection to him.

Researchers were able to study the behavior of the Spix's Macaw in wild, and gain a better understanding of the reasons why this species has survived so long. Researchers were able to determine the historical population of this unique bird more accurately. Researchers were able to gather crucial information on the bird's daily movements, its seasonal adaptation to drought, as well as its eating habits. Researchers also monitored attempts to reproduce with the hybrid Illiger's and Spix's macaw couple which was an important step in the recovery of this species.

It was an amazing feat that this bird survived and thrived in the wild despite having a very small gene pool. This has enabled scientists to better understand how these birds can be reintroduced back to nature. The survival of the last bird motivated people to act in order to save other parrots as well as endangered species. It has also prompted zoos and other groups to set up their own captive breeding programs for these exotic birds.

This group serves as a model for how conservation groups and other organizations can work together to protect endangered wildlife and endangered animals. This group brings together Brazilian government officials, zoo reps international owners of the Spix's macaw and ornithologists with a common goal that is the recovery of this rare bird.

The working group has already accomplished a great deal of work, including preparing an idea for reintroducing this bird to the wild. The group also raised funds to support community outreach, field research and captive-bred birds for the project. The group has also set up an ongoing committee to oversee the rehabilitation of the bird.

Habitat

Ten years ago the Spix's severe macaw (Cyanopsitta Spixii) was thought to be extinct. It was endangered through the destruction of habitat and illegal poaching. Aviculturists and ornithologists as well as other experts continue to do their best to bring this iconic bird back from the brink of extinction.

A popular animated movie and two sequels have made Spix's Ziggy Our Scarlet Macaw known to millions of people around the world, but this is just the beginning of the iceberg in the long-distance journey to save these birds from the brink. An international team has worked for decades to breed and reintroduce Spix's Macaws raised in captivity back into the wild.

The Spix's Macaw is an indigenous species found in a tiny region of northeast Brazil called the Caatinga. This desert region has flat savannah scrubland, scattered with galleries and seasonal streams. It was described in 1819, and is among the smallest known Neotropical Parrots. There are only sporadic appearances in the wild, a few captive birds and a handful of museum specimens.

To protect the population that is declining, an international committee was created that gathered aviculturists who had the last remaining birds as well as officials from the government. The group forged a partnership with the renowned non-profit organization Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation of Qatar to develop a program to reintroduce Spix's Macaws back to their natural habitat.

AWWP has purchased and is renovating 2,380 hectares in Caatinga near Curaca (Brazil) of the most pristine habitat. AWWP also breeds and raises birds to be released in the wild. This will give an animal that is genetically pure for the future generations.

Spix's Macaws can be found in trees and rarely seen on the ground. They nest in tree hollows or holes, and hunt for fruits, seeds, nuts, and other plants. They typically spend up to three-quarters of the time in the nest.

A local community was recruited as part of the field team in order to help to track Spix's macaws. The community was given watches that would activate if the Spix's Macaw was detected. This allowed them to monitor the birds in the wild as well as their daily activities. This approach has proven very 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 after the last wild parrot disappeared in the year 2000. subsequent surveys failed to locate any additional birds. A reintroduction programme is in the process of attempting to bring back this critically endangered bird back to its home in the Caatinga.

This dry forest is located in the region of northeast Brazil which covers around 10 percent of the country. Spix's Macaws nestled in the hollows old caraibeiras and were also known to eat seeds and nuts.

Reintroduction of the Spix’s Macaw into the wild is in progress. Eight Spix's Macaws that were raised in captivity were released into the wild in June. Twelve more birds are expected to be released in 2022. They will be joined by Blue-winged Macaws that have been reintroduced to the same area, and will help to share knowledge about food sources and nesting and roosting locations.

The reintroduction program has already obtained valuable biological data on the behavior of this bird, including information about daily movement patterns and adjustments to drought. It has also provided a glimpse into the natural history of the Spix's Macaws. This aids in understanding the causes that led to their decline.

Spix's Macaws eat the seeds, fruits and nuts of a variety of species native to the Caatinga biome. This includes the pinhao-bravo (Jatropha mollissima) and the linhas brasil (Senegalia tenuifolia), along with the Joazeiro (Ziziphus Joazeiro) and facheiro cactus (Pilosocereus pachycladus).

The Spix's Macaws in captivity are a mix that descends of only two individuals. This makes them more vulnerable to illnesses and other environmental threats. The majority of the birds in captivity are housed at a breeding center in Germany, but this year an agreement between the German conservation center and the Brazilian government was not renewed which raises doubt about the future plans to repatriate the birds and then reintroduce them into the wild.

In order to keep them healthy and producing, it will be crucial for reintroducing these birds to the wild. It is crucial to select the right birds before releasing them. Macaws should be reproductively mature and should be joined by an older sibling or close relatives.

Bringing the Spix's hyacinth macaw parrots for sale back to the wild could be difficult, but it's essential to try. To aid, ABC and partners have started a reserve system that aims to protect the species' last remaining habitats. The eight Spix's macaws will be joined by blue-winged macaws that are more common in the Caatinga and are found in overlapping areas with the Spix's macaws. These birds will assist the macaws adapt to their new surroundings and will also offer protection by numbers.
