Many experts have concluded that this bird is likely extinct as there are no records from the last century. However they have been willing to accept a small chance of its survival. If it is able to survive it will be very rare to see large numbers.

Habitat

The glaucous Macaw is an impressive bird, renowned for its size and turquoise-blue coloring. Its wings and tail feathers are long, which aids in its graceful and agile movement. The bird is a symbol of loyalty and love. Its beak, which is primarily black, is distinctive in its shape that allows it to crack seeds and nuts. These are a large part of its diet.

IUCN has classified the Glaucous Macaw as Critically Endangered. It states that there is only a tiny population of this bird and it is in high-risk of extinction. The species was previously fairly widespread but now it is found in northern Argentina, southern Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay and Brazil from Parana state southwards where it nestted in cliffs along major rivers.

Although there have been no confirmed sightings of this species since 1830 The Glaucous macaw price seemed not to be very rare in its limited range. specimens were collected up to 1850 (in Corrientes). The last known living Glaucous hahns macaw for sale was seen at the Buenos Aires Zoo in 1936 and is believed to have come from Brazil.

Reassessment suggests that this species is a generalist, and prefers savanna habitat that is interspersed with palm "islands", and riparian forest bands along rivers. It was a specialized in the consuming of palm fruit, especially those of the yatay (or chatay) palm (Butia). However it also ate ripe and unripe fruits, nuts, berries, and vegetable matter. It is a nesting place on steep slopes, in cliffs and sometimes in tree cavities.

The bird was likely to be gregarious and social, like other parrots. It was said that it could live for up to 14.4 years in captivity and was a reliable breeder who reproduced year after. The lifespan of the species in the wild was about 50 to 80 years. This species was a potent disperser of seeds and may have contributed to the success of the palm yatay species in its natural habitat.

Feeding

The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is one of the most stunning of the parrot species, and its presence commands a powerful impact in its environment. This massive South American bird is known for its vivid blue feathers and yellow eyes as well as its distinctive teardrop-shaped lappet that brackets the lower portion of its beak.

Up until recently, very little was known about the feeding habits of the Glaucous Macaw. The first references to the subject I have discovered are in two books by H.W. Bates' "The Naturalist on the amazons" first published in 1863, and describes his 11-year stay in Brazil. Later in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests", he wrote about the same experience. Both of them are about the Hyacinthine Macaw Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. There is 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 consumed other seeds, fruits and vegetable matter in small quantities. This species' diet was likely heavily influenced by the clearing of forests for farming and cattle-ranching by early colonists, as well the removal of yatay (Butia) palms from which it derived a lot of its nutritional value.

In the wild, it was common to see the Glaucous macaw in savannahs and forests that were subtropical in which palm trees were present. It hid in tree cavities or on rocky banks and palm fronds. On average two clutches of eggs was laid and then incubated by the female.

Unfortunately the Glaucous macaw is no longer found in most of its former habitat. The disappearance of this majestic bird is likely due to the continued trapping of pets for the macau pet shop trade, as well as disturbance of habitat, especially the mass clearing of yatay palms from which it may have obtained its main food supply. The Glaucous Macaw is classified as Critically Endangered.

Breeding

Glaucous Macaws form monogamous long-term couples. Both parents are involved in raising their young. They breed in the dry season, when the food supply is at its highest. Females lay two to three eggs which are incubated by the mother for about 28 days. Once the chicks hatch they are fed by their parents through regurgitation for the first couple of weeks of life. The young macaws then begin to explore and to feed themselves. They also learn how to fly and hunt for food.

The glaucous Macaw is extremely social bird. They are active during daylight hours and rest at night. They often seek refuge in cavities in trees or other suitable nesting places to sleep. Their calls can be heard in the forest throughout the day.

The species is expected to recover from the decline, however it faces many threats including habitat loss, illegal trapping of the bird to sell on the pet market and deforestation. It is believed that there are less than 20 glaucous macaws in the wild. The IUCN has classified the bird as "Critically endangered--possibly extinct."
