Melody Blue Spix Macaw

After a long period of anxiety and speculation, Brazilian and German conservationists succeeded in reinserting two couples back into their natural habitat. Their story is inspiring, but also rife with resentment and jealousy.

The first obstacle was to find enough birds for the trade. These macaws are monogamous, so the pairs had to be matched well.

Range

A South African couple is working to save the critically endangered Spix's Pixie mini macaw which was declared extinct in 2000, following decades of poaching and loss of habitat. They have a tiny population of the birds in captive, and hope to release them in the wild near Curaca. They call the birds their blue-eyed friends and compared their journey to the story of Presley, the last known Spix's macaw from the wild. They describe him as a true survivor, who lost his family, but kept his faith in his region. They believe that their lives in Caatinga as akin to his, and they feel a strong connection to him.

The discovery of the last Spix's glaucous macaw offered a valuable opportunity for researchers to investigate its behavior in wild and gain a deeper understanding of how the species survived so long. This allowed researchers to determine the historical population of this unique bird with greater accuracy. Researchers were able to gather important data about the bird's daily movement patterns, seasonal adjustment to drought, and its feeding habits. Researchers also observed attempts to reproduce with an Illiger's and a Spix's hybrid macaw couple which was an important step in the recovery for this species.

The bird's survival has encouraged people to take action to save other species of parrots that are endangered. Zoos are also encouraged to develop their own captive breeding programs for these exotic bird species.

This working group is a great illustration of how conservation groups and other organizations as well as individuals can work together to save endangered animals and wildlife. This group consists of Brazilian government officials, representatives from zoos, international holders of the Spix’s macaw, and ornithologists to achieve one goal in common to save this endangered bird.

The group has accomplished a lot of work. This includes the development of an approach to reintroduce this bird to the wild. The group has also worked to raise funds to support field research and community outreach as well as captive-breed birds for the reintroduction project. It has also created a permanent committee to save the bird.

Habitat

At risk due to habitat destruction and poaching, the Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) was believed to be extinct in the wild ten years ago. Aviculturists, ornithologists, and other experts continue to work hard to save this iconic bird back from the brink of extinction.

The Spix's Macaw is well-known to millions of people all over the globe thanks to a well-known animated film and two sequels. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg on the long journey of bringing these birds back. For a long time, a global 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 an indigenous species to a small region of northeast Brazil called the Caatinga. This arid region has flat savannah scrubland, interspersed with galleries and seasonal streams. It was first described in 1819 and is among of the smallest known Neotropical parrots, despite only occasional sightings in the wild, a few captive birds and some museum specimens.

To protect the declining population, an international group was established. It was comprised of experts in aviculture who had the last remaining bird and officials from the government. The group formed a partnership with the world-renowned non-profit organization Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation (AWWP) of Qatar to create an intensive program to reintroduce captive-bred Macaws Spix's into their native environment in northeast Brazil.

AWWP has purchased and is restoring 2,380 hectares of prime habitat in the Caatinga near Curaca, Brazil. AWWP also breeds and rears birds that will be released into the wild. This will give the genetically pure source of animals for future generations.

In the wild, Spix's macaws will live in trees and are rarely seen on the ground. They typically nest in tree holes or hollows and hunt for fruits as well as seeds, nuts, and other plants. They typically spend up to a third of the day in the nest.

To help track the Spix's macaws and their movements, a local community was recruited to become part of the field team. The members of the community were provided watches that could be activated if the Spix's macaw was observed which allowed them to keep track of the birds and their movements throughout the wild. This approach has been extremely successful.

Diet

The Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) is the only species in the genus Cyanopsitta. The International Union for Conservation of Nature declared it extinct in the wild on April 1, 2019. This was in the wake of the last wild parrot vanished in 2000, and no more birds were found in subsequent surveys. However, a reintroduction plan is in the process of trying to restore this critically endangered bird back to its natural habitat in the Caatinga.

This region in northeast Brazil comprises about 10% of the entire country. Spix's Macaws were found in hollows old caraibeiras, and were also known to eat seeds and nuts.

A reintroduction programme is underway to establish a natural population of the Spix's Macaw. Eight captive-raised Spix's macaws were released into the wild in June. Twelve more are expected to be released in 2022. They will be joined by a group Blue-winged Macaws that have been reintroduced and will share information on food sources, nesting and areas to roost.

The reintroduction program has already collected valuable data from biology on the behavior of this unique bird, including information on daily movements patterns as well as the seasonal changes to drought. It also provides an insight into the natural history of the Spix's Fiona hyacinth macaw bird for sale and helped to better understand what led to its extinction in the wild.

Spix's Macaws eat the fruits, seeds and nuts of many plants native to the Caatinga biome. Pinhao-bravo, linhas Brazil and facheiro (Pilosocereus Pachycladus) are all part of this diet. They also eat the fruit of palms of acai (Acaia oliva) or mofumbo (Combretum leprosum).

Spix's Macaws as with all parrots and other birds, are social birds that form close bonds with their parents. They are extremely vocal and often mimic human speech and other sounds. They have a mating sound called the "whichaka," which is described as a short continuous grating sound similar to a flute. They are well-known for flying fast and high when they are in an ecstatic mood.

Breeding

Spix's Macaws are extremely intelligent and social birds. They communicate by screeching, squawking and other sounds. Like many parrots they can mimic human speech. They also adhere to a rigid daily routine, ranging from flight paths to bathing habits and can identify the members of their flock. This is why they are the most sought-after pets and targets for the illegal bird trade.

In the early 1980s only three Spix’s macaws remained in the wild. They were all poached. In 1995, poachers killed both male and Cleo female macaws for sale birds in a plan to pair them. Since since then all known Spix's macaws are captive-bred, mostly in Brazil.

The Spix's Macaws in captivity are a mixture, which is the descendant of just two individuals. This makes them more vulnerable to illnesses and other environmental issues. The majority of the birds in captivity are housed at an 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 return the birds and return them back into the wild.

image-removebg-preview-2-150x150.pngDespite their low numbers, captive-bred Spix’s macaws 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.

As a result of this and other efforts, the captive-bred birds are beginning to reproduce, but not at a great rate. Reintroducing the birds into the wild will require that they stay healthy and produce. Choosing the right birds to release is also critical. Macaws must be of reproductive age and be paired up with siblings or close relatives.

The return of the Spix's Macaw to the wild may prove difficult, but it is important to try. ABC and its partners have created reserves to safeguard the last remaining habitats of this species. The eight Spix's Macaws that were released recently will be joined by blue-winged Macaws. These macaws are more common in Caatinga and are found in areas where the Spix's macaws also reside. These smart birds will help the macaws become more accustomed to the region and provide security in large numbers.
