Melody Blue Spix Macaw

image-removebg-preview-2-150x150.pngAfter a long time with uncertainty and fear Brazilians and German conservationists managed to successfully bring a group of couples back into their natural habitat. Their story is inspiring but also filled with jealousy and backbiting.

The first hurdle was obtaining enough birds to trade. The macaws are monogamous so the pairs had to be well-matched.

Range

A South African couple has taken on the task of saving the critically endangered Spix's Macaw. This bird was declared extinct by the United Nations in 2000 owing to decades of habitat destruction and poaching. They have a small population of the birds in captivity and they hope to release them into the wild close to Curaca. They refer to the birds as their blue-eyed friends and have compared their journey to the story of Presley, the last known Spix's macaw from the wild. They describe him a true survivor, who lost his family, but was loyal to the region. They feel a strong kinship to him and view their lives as being identical to his.

Researchers were able to study the behavior of the Spix's Macaw in wild, and to better understand the reasons why this species has survived for so long. It also helped them make a more precise estimation of the historical population numbers of this rare bird. Researchers were able gather important information on the bird's daily movements, its seasonal adjustment to drought, and eating habits. They also observed reproduction attempts using an Illiger's and Spix's hybrid macaws which was a significant 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 allowed scientists understand how these birds can be returned to the natural world. The last bird's survival also encouraged people to take action to save other species of endangered parrots. It also inspired zoos and other organizations to set up their own captive breeding programs for these exotic birds.

This working group is a good illustration of how conservation groups and other organizations as well as individuals can work together in order to conserve endangered wildlife and animals. It brings Brazilian officials from the government as well as representatives from zoos, international holders of this rare bird, and ornithologists to work together towards a common goal - the reintroduction of the Spix's Pixie mini macaw.

The group has accomplished a great deal of work, including preparing an idea for reintroducing this bird back into the wild. The group also raised funds for community outreach and field research as well as captive-bred birds for the project. It also has established a permanent committee for the rehabilitation of the bird.

Habitat

At risk due to poaching and habitat destruction The Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) was believed to be extinct in the wild 10 years ago. Today, aviculturists and ornithologists continue to fight tirelessly to save this iconic bird back from the danger of extinction.

The Spix's Macaw is well-known to millions around the world 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 decades, an international team has been working to breed and bring back Spix's macaws that have been raised in captivity into the wild.

The Spix's Macaw is native to a small area of northeast Brazil which is known as the Caatinga which is an arid region of savannah scrubland [Redirect-303] that is flat, interspersed with creeks that flow through the seasons and gallery forests. It was first documented in 1819, and is one of the lesser-known Neotropical parrots, despite only few glimpses of the wild and a few birds that are kept in captivity and some museum specimens.

To preserve the dwindling population, an international committee was established that brought together aviculturists that had the last remaining birds and government officials. The group formed a collaboration with the world-renowned non-profit organisation Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation (AWWP) of Qatar to create an intensive program to reintroduce captive-bred Macaws Spix's into their native environment in the northeast of Brazil.

AWWP has acquired and is restoring 2,380 hectares in the Caatinga near Curaca (Brazil) of the most pristine habitat. AWWP is also breeding and rearing birds to be released into the wild, providing a genetically pure source of animals for future generations.

In the wild, Spix's Macaws are found in trees, and are not often seen on the ground. They nest in tree hollows or holes, and hunt in search of seeds, fruits, nuts, and various other plants. They can spend as much as 1/3 of their time in the nest.

To aid in tracking the Spix's macaws and their movements, a local community was recruited to become part of the field team. The community was given watches that would turn on when a Spix's Macaw is detected. This allowed them to track the birds in the wild as well as their daily actions. This method has proven successful.

Diet

The Spix's macaw keycaps is the only species belonging to the genus Cyanopsitta. It was declared extinct in the wild in the year 2019 by the International Union for [Redirect Only] the Conservation of Nature after the last known wild parrot disappeared in the year 2000. subsequent surveys did not find any additional birds. A reintroduction program is currently underway to try to bring this critically endangered bird to its native home in the Caatinga.

The northeast region of Brazil comprises about 10% of the country. Spix's Macaws were amidst the hollows of old caraibeiras and were also known to eat nuts and seeds.

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 Melody blue spix macaw-winged Macaws. They have been reintroduced to the same area and will help to share information about food sources, nesting and roosting areas.

The reintroduction programme has already collected valuable biological data about the behavior of the bird, which includes details of the patterns of movement and adaptations to drought. It has also opened a window on the natural history of Spix's Macaws, which can help to understand the causes that led to their extinction.

Spix's Macaws eat 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) as well as the joazeiro (Ziziphus Joazeiro) and facheiro Cactus (Pilosocereus pachycladus). They may also consume the fruit of acai palms (Acaia oliva) or mofumbo (Combretum leprosum).

Spix's Macaws, like all parrots as well as other birds are social birds and form close bonds with their parents. They are very vocal and often mimic human speech and other sounds. They have a mating cry called "whichaka," described as an extremely short and repetitive sound that resembles the note of a flutist. They are often seen flying high and fast when they are in an ecstatic mood.

Breeding

Spix's macaws are incredibly intelligent and social birds. They communicate through screeching, squawking, and other sounds. Like many parrots, they can mimic human speech. They also have a strict routine for their day, from flight paths to bathing habits and can identify members of their flock. This is why they are such popular pets, and also a target for the illegal bird trade.

In the early 1980s only three Spix's macaws remained in the wild, all of them being poached. A plan to pair the last male and female was foiled in 1995, when poachers killed both birds. Since then, all known Spix's macaws have been captive-bred, mostly in Brazil.

The Spix's Macaws that are in captivity are a mixture that descends of just two individuals. This makes them susceptible 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 return them into the wild.

Despite their low numbers of captive-bred Spix's macaws, captive-bred species show some signs of improvement. This was evident when a Swiss breeder beat a sheikh from Qatar to purchase from a collector three Spix's macaws which weren't part of the breeding program.

As a result of this and other efforts, the captive-bred birds are beginning reproduce, though not at a great rate. Reintroducing the birds into the wild will require that they stay healthy and produce. It is crucial to select the right birds prior to releasing them. The macaws should be reproductive and paired with close relatives or siblings.

It's not easy to get the Spix's Macaw back to the wild, but it's important to try. To aid, ABC and partners have created a reserve system which is designed to safeguard 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 common in Caatinga and live in areas where the Spix’s macaws also live. These birds will help macaws become accustomed to their new environment and will also ensure safety through the sheer numbers.
