Melody Blue Spix Macaw

ac.jpegAfter a long period uncertainty and worry, Brazilian and German conservationists succeeded in reinserting couple couples back into their natural habitat. Their story is inspiring, but also filled with resentment and jealousy.

The first obstacle was to find enough birds to trade. The macaws are monogamous therefore the pairs had to be matched properly.

Range

A South African couple is working to save the critically endangered Spix's macaw which was declared extinct in 2000, following decades of poaching and loss of habitat. They have a small number of the birds in captivity, and are hoping to release them into the wild close to Curaca. They call them their blue-eyed friends and compared their experience to the story of Presley, the last known Spix's Macaw in the wild. They say he was a true survivor, who lost his family but kept his faith in the region. They feel a strong connection to him and perceive their lives as being similar to his.

The discovery of the last Spix's Blondie scarlet macaw bird offered a valuable opportunity for researchers to study its behavior in the wild and gain a deeper understanding of why this species was able to survive for such a long time. It also helped them make a more precise estimate of the historic numbers of this unique bird. Researchers were able to gather crucial data on the bird's daily movement, its seasonal adaptation to drought, as well as its eating habits. Researchers also monitored attempts to reproduce with a hybrid Spix’s and Illiger’s macaw couple which was an important step in the recovery of this species.

It was a remarkable feat that this bird lived and thrived in the wild despite having a limited gene pool. This has allowed scientists to better understand how these birds can be returned to nature. The survival of the last bird motivated people to act to save other species of parrots that are endangered. This has also encouraged zoos to develop their own captive breeding programs for these exotic species of birds.

This working group is an example of how conservation groups and other organizations can work together to protect endangered wildlife and endangered animals. It brings Brazilian governmental officials as well as representatives from zoos and international owners of this rare bird, and ornithologists with a common goal - the recovery of the Spix's macaw.

The group has already accomplished a lot of work. This includes the development of plans to reintroduce the bird to the wild. The group has also worked to raise funds to support field research, community outreach and captive-breed birds for the reintroduction plan. They have also formed an ongoing committee to help recover the bird.

Habitat

Ten years ago, the Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta Spixii) was believed to be extinct. It was threatened due to habitat destruction and illegal poaching. Aviculturists, ornithologists, and other experts continue to fight to bring this iconic bird back from the brink of extinction.

The Spix's Macaw is known to millions of people all over the world thanks to a well-known animated film and two sequels. But this is only the beginning on the long-distance road to returning these birds. A multi-national team has been working for decades to breed and reintroduce Spix's macaws born in captivity into the wild.

The Spix's macaw is native to a small area of northeast Brazil, called the Caatinga an arid area consisting of savannah scrubland flat that is dotted with creeks that flow through the seasons and gallery forests. It was first described in 1819 and is one of least-known Neotropical Parrots. There are only sporadic glimpses of the wild, a few birds in captivity and a few museum specimens.

To protect the declining population In order to save the declining population, an international group was established. It was comprised of Aviculturists who owned the last remaining bird and officials from the government. The group formed a partnership with the renowned non-profit organization Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation (AWWP) of Qatar to develop a comprehensive program to reintroduce captive-bred Spix's Macaws to their natural habitat in northeast Brazil.

AWWP has bought and is renovating 2,380 hectares of prime habitat in the Caatinga area, close to Curaca, Brazil. AWWP also breeds and raises birds to be released into the wild. This will give the genetically pure source of animals for the future generations.

Spix's Macaws can be found in trees, and are seldom seen on the ground. They nest in tree hollows or holes and search for fruits, seeds, nuts, and various other plants. They can spend as much as one third of their day in the nest.

A local community was enlisted as part of the field team to assist identify Spix's Macaws. The members of the community were provided watches which could be activated if the Spix's Macaw was detected which allowed them to keep an eye on the birds and their daily movements in the wild. This approach has proven very successful.

Diet

The Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) is the only species in the Genus Cyanopsitta. The International Union for Conservation of Nature declared that it was extinct in the wild on April 1st, 2019. This was following the last wild parrot vanished in 2000, and no more birds were observed in subsequent surveys. A reintroduction plan is currently underway to try to bring back this critically endangered bird to its native home in the Caatinga.

This dry forest is a part of northeast Brazil which covers around 10% 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 currently underway. 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 of Blue-winged macaws who were reintroduced. They will provide information on food sources, nesting and roosting locations.

The reintroduction program has collected vital biological data about the behavior of the bird, including information about daily movements and adjustments to drought. It has also provided a window into the natural history of the Spix's glaucous macaw, helping to discover the reasons behind its disappearance in the wild.

Spix's Macaws consume the seeds, fruits, and nuts of numerous species native to the Caatinga biome. This includes the pinhao-bravo (Jatropha mollissima) and the linhas brasil (Senegalia tenuifolia) and the Joazeiro (Ziziphus joazeiro) and facheiro cactus (Pilosocereus pachycladus). They also eat the fruit of acai palms (Acaia oliva) or mofumbo (Combretum leprosum).

Spix's Macaws as with all parrots and other bird species are social birds and have close relationships with their parents. They are extremely vocal and often imitate human speech and other sounds. They have a mating cry known as "whichaka," described as a short and repetitive grating sound similar to an acoustic note. They are often seen flying fast and high when they are in a breeding mood.

Breeding

Spix's Macaws are highly intelligent and social birds. They communicate with each other by making a variety of squawking and screeching sounds. Like many other parrots, mimic human speech. They also adhere to a rigid daily routine, ranging from flight paths to bathing habits, and they can recognize the members of their flock. They are adored as pets and are often targeted by the illegal trade in birds due to this.

In the early 1980s only three Spix's Macaws were left in the wild, and all of them poached. In 1995, poachers killed the male and Cleo female macaws for sale birds in the hope of pairing them. Since since then the Spix's macaws have been captive-bred mostly in Brazil.

The few Spix's macaws in captivity are a mix of individuals who are descendants of only two individuals, which makes them at risk of disease and other environmental threats. The majority of the birds that are in captivity are kept in 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 reintroduce them into the wild.

image-removebg-preview-2-150x150.pngDespite their shaky numbers, captive-bred Spix's Macaws are showing signs of improvement. This was evident when a Swiss breeder was able to beat a sheikh from Qatar to buy from a collector three Spix's Macaws that weren't part of the breeding program.

As a result of this and other efforts, the captive-bred birds are beginning reproduce, but not at a rapid rate. Reintroducing the birds into the wild will require that they stay healthy and produce. It is crucial to select the right birds before release. Macaws must be at a reproductive age and should be joined by a sibling or a close relatives.

The return of the Spix's Macaw to the wild may prove difficult, but it's important to try. To help, ABC and partners have started a reserve system that will help to protect the species' last remaining habitats. The eight Spix's macaws that were released recently will be joined by the blue-winged Macaws. These macaws are more common in Caatinga, and they live in areas where the Spix’s macaws are also. These smart birds will help macaws to become used to the region and provide the security of a large number.
