Britain.tv Wikipedia - Macaw Feather-plucking does not normally occur in the wild, strongly suggesting that it is the result of a neurosis related to life in captivity. Most pet macaws had ancestors living in the wild just two or three generations ago, and are not truly domesticated by any reasonable definition. All species of macaws have very powerful, large beaks and are capable of causing considerable harm to both children and adults. www.britain.tv /wikipedia.php?title=Macaw   (543 words)

Glaucous Macaw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) When looking at the literature on the Glaucous macaw, particularly that most recent, it is obvious that much of the mystery is due to the nature of the information published on the bird. Azara was the first naturalist (1802) to refer to the Glaucous Macaw and its feeding habits when he suggested its diet may be limited to fruits, seeds and dates because he thought the bill and the roof of the mouth too weak. The Glaucous macaws reported in the last century probably belonged to a relict population supplanted by the more successful Hyacinthine macaw to the north, which was or became a specialist feeder. www.bluemacaws.org /glau2.htm   (5834 words)

Wisdom for Our Generation, with Illustrations Page 2 Spix's Macaw is one of the four large, blue macaws that once inhabited the South American continent. The Spix's Macaw became extinct in the wild in the year 2000 when the last wild bird vanished permanently from the watchful eyes of observers.

[No title] Due to poaching and illegal commerce, the Hyacinth macaw's range in the wild is restricted to central Brazil. The macaws must go through this pulpy outer fruit coat to reach the inner nut; at times they enlist the digestive tracts of cattle to remove the outer layers, and then eat the nut meat after the nut has been passed by the cattle. The Glaucous macaw has not been recorded in the wild since the l9th century, and it is probably now safe to assume that the species is extinct. www.personal.psu.edu /users/k/b/kbs166/monograph.html   (980 words)

The Glaucous Macaw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) DISTRIBUTION The Glaucous Macaw (see Remarks 1) appears to be or have been endemic to the middle reaches of the major rivers (Uruguay, Paraná and Paraguay) and adjacent areas and watercourses in south-eastern South America, with most records coming from Corrientes province, Argentina. POPULATION Lack of records of the Glaucous Macaw both in the wild and in captivity for most of this century has led to the near-universal view of its probable extinction, always however accepting a remote chance of its survival (Vielliard 1979, Ridgely 1981a, Sick 1985, Chebez 1986a, Forshaw 1989). ECOLOGY The dependence of the Glaucous Macaw on riverine habitats (including their fringing subtropical forest) is strongly suggested by the consistency with which records (see Distribution) derive from along major rivers. www.bluemacaws.org /glau4.htm   (3231 words)

Last check: 2007-10-20) Today the glaucous macaw is extinct, while the closely related hyacinth and Lear's macaws have wild populations of just 3,000 and 75 respectively. Juniper's final destination is the dusty thorn scrub of central Brazil, where a tiny remnant population of Spix's macaw survived, despite the relentless attentions of local bird-trappers.
