+Why Are the Hyacinth Macaw and Glaucous Macaw So Similar?
+
+The two bird species, despite their distinct characteristics, have a similar evolutionary history. Their reliance on palm swamps for nesting and roosting demonstrates the interconnectedness of nature and the need to preserve endangered habitats.
+
+With its bright blue plumage and distinctive yellow accents, the hyacinth macaw is unmistakable. Its seemingly smiling beak packs an incredibly powerful bite that can crack coconuts as well as large brazil nut pods.
+
+The Hyacinth Macaw
+
+The Hyacinth Macaw is by far the largest parrot and a magnificent bird. It's striking blue with yellow highlights around the eyes and the lower beak, which can make them appear as if they're smiling. It has short sturdy legs that permit it to hang upside down or sideways, and a huge hooked beak that is designed to break open coconuts. They are social and intelligent and tend to stay with the same person for the duration of their lives.
+
+Hyacinth Macaws aren't migratory, and their distribution depends on the availability of palm species which are their primary food source. This is the primary distinction between macaws, and other parrots that are usually migraters.
+
+A large proportion of the diet of the hyacinth macaw consists of the nuts of native palm trees, specifically the acuri and the bocaiuva. Their powerful beaks enable them to crack open these seeds. They also eat fruits and other plant materials.
+
+They are not migratory and their population is dependent on the availability of the palms acuri and bocaiuva that provide the majority of their primary food source. This is a major distinction between macaws and most other parakeets, which typically tend to be migratory.
+
+Contrary to most parrots, which prefer tropical rainforests with dense vegetation, the hyacinth macaw is able to be found in lightly forested areas like palm swamps and grasslands that have been flooded. The majority of the macaw's population can be found in the Pantanal, the world's biggest tropical wetland in Brazil.
+
+Like other birds that are monogamous, hyacinth macaws too. They choose a partner at about 3-4 years old and stay with them their entire life. They are very sociable animals and often interact with humans, however it is crucial to remember that they are wild animals and should not be removed from their natural habitat.
+
+If you want to enjoy the company of an elegant, intelligent and spirited animal that can mimic your words, you should consider adopting the pet parrot of an aviculturist that breeds these magnificent creatures. Finding a responsible aviculturist who is well-established is the best method to ensure that these incredible animals will be well-cared for in the wild.
+
+The Glaucous Macaw
+
+The [Glaucous Macaw](https://buy-macaw.com/) (Ara glaucus) is among the most colorful birds of the Amazon basin. The large parrot has blue top parts and yellow underparts and can be found in forests of tropical South America. This bird is very rare and is classified as Critically endangered. The reason for the decline of this bird is most likely the trapping of live adults for the trade in wild birds, and the massive thinning of palms called yatay (Butia yatay) which are believed to be the primary food source.
+
+The name of this bird comes from its strikingly blue hue, which can be described as a pale turquoise to azure in color. Its underparts are yellowish in hue, while its head is grey. It is smaller than Lear's macaw and more slender that the Hyacinth Macaw.
+
+In addition to being a beautiful bird, the glaucous macaw is also a symbol of hope for those living in the Amazon Basin. It is hoped that the glaucous macaw will soon be found in the wild and populations can be rebuilt to ensure the survival of this amazing species.
+
+Although the glaucous macaw has been believed to be extinct in the wild There have been several reported reappearances in the past. The most promising of these came in February 1992 when a female specimen was spotted at Customs in Britain. It was a bird that was kept in some of the world's most famous zoos and at the time, it was believed to be was a genuine glaucous macaw.
+
+However, this purportedly authentic glaucous macaw eventually revealed to be a hybrid of Macaws of Lear and Hyacinth. Additionally, its azure coloring was actually more like that of the macaws of Hyacinth and it had been developed for the purpose breeding hybrids.
+
+Even if the glaucous macaw does come back to the wild again however, it is not likely that it will be able to reproduce and produce healthy offspring. The bird has been threatened for too long. It is tragic if this beautiful tropical giant was to disappear forever.
+
+The Origins of the Macaws
+
+Macaws often develop a strong bond with their human counterparts and can be very affectionate. They are vocal birds and can be heard singing various songs and calls. They enjoy mimicking sounds and voices particularly those of their human counterparts. Macaws who reside with humans may learn to mimic words. Macaws make loud, shrieking noises to communicate with one another or to warn of danger. They will call from 5-10 minutes, several times a week.
+
+If a pair of Macaws create a bond, they will stay together until one macaw dies. They will groom each other's feathers during the night and roost with one another. They also mate each year, and lay their eggs in a nest constructed inside a hollow tree or dirt hole on the cliff. The female incubates the egg for 12 weeks, while the male collects food and shields the chicks from predators.
+
+Macaws were used as companion birds by humans as they began to interact with them. They were considered to be symbol of love and power, with their powerful beaks and bright blue feathers. Many believed that macaws could tell them the future or answer their prayers. By making their shrieking sound they were believed to scare away crocodiles and snakes.
+
+For many years there was no information about the precise number of wild glaucous macaws that existed. There were reports of a few specimens in captivity, but no one knew where they came from or what age they were. One of the most famous birds lived at Paris the Jardin d'Acclimatation from 1886 until 1905 while another inhabited a zoo in Buenos Aires from the 1920s until 1936. Despite these early records the general assumption was that the glaucous macaw had gone extinct in the wild.
+
+In 2010, however an analysis of isotopes revealed that the glaucous Macaw still exists in the wild. The findings of the study were published by Science. The authors suggest that the glaucous macaws in the wild probably originated from a group in the Paquime region of northern Chihuahua. The apparent longevity of the birds is due to their ability to adapt to their surroundings. They are able to survive in dry desert conditions for example.
+
+The Future of the Macaws
+
+As the stories of the hyacinth macaw and the Glaucous macaw show shows, parrots are incredibly able to adapt to their environment. In the wild, parrots can travel miles to find nesting sites or mates. They can also mimic human speech. Their feet are designed so that they can perch in trees and climb them. They can carry food through their beaks.
+
+Parrots are not domesticated like cats and dogs, despite their natural abilities. They are still wild animals and must continue to live the way their ancestors lived. If you're planning to bring one of these birds into your home, you should take it with care and sensitivity. Parrots can be loud and large, and can cause damage to furniture and home. They are also listed on CITES due to over-collection for the pet trade and habitat loss.
+
+One of the best examples of a successful reintroduction effort is the long and fascinating background of the Spix's macaw, which was believed to be extinct until Helmut Sick and his field assistant, Dante Teixera, spotted three birds close to Formosa do Rio Preto in 1974. At the time the only known pair of the birds was kept in the captive at Al Wabra in Qatar.
+
+At a conference held in Sao Paulo city, Purchase and other conservationists agreed that the only solution to the problem was to release macaws into the wild. They had to do it quickly, though, because the number of breeding pairs was very low. They also needed to establish different lines of descent in the various breeding centres so that one pair would not take over the entire population.
+
+So the conservationists began searching Brazil for any Spix's macaws in private ownership which could be rehabilitated to be reintroduced. Owners initially were hesitant because they were afraid of being prosecuted for breaking a law that prohibited the export of wildlife. Kiessling claims that "one by one" people began to come forward.
