	Hyacinth Macaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) is the largest species in the macaw family.
		Bird experts often advise those interested in obtaining a macaw as a pet to educate themselves extensively about these birds prior to obtaining one, as these animals require more attention than a dog or cat and they are not considered domesticated animals by the official definition.
		The Hyacinth Macaw is considered an endangered species due to overcollection for the cage bird trade and by the use of their feathers by the Kayapo Indians of Gorotire in southern Brazil.

	Hyacinth Macaw - Bagheera
		The hyacinth macaw is found primarily in riverside tropical rain forests and palm swamps.
		The hyacinth macaw is especially vulnerable to capture and habitat destruction because it is noisy, intrinsically fearless, predictable, and dependent on palm trees.
		Hyacinth macaws do not breed every year even under the best circumstances, so this predation on chicks is particularly bad for the species' survival.

		Hyacinth macaws are very fragile when they are born, only adventuring themselves in their first flights three months after birth.
		To better observe and count the macaws, the Hyacinth Macaw Project has used radio-transmitters shaped as collars, which are put around the neck of the birds, that allow for a better study of the macaws´ movements.
		There were two main factors that caused the death of thousands of hyacinth macaws, making the species endangered: the capture of birds to attend the demand of illegal trade in Brazil and abroad, and the occupation of the natural habitat for agriculture and cattle ranching.

		The hyacinth macaw (Anodorynchus hyacinthinus) is an endangered species that stands out in this scenario, not only because of its beauty, but also because it is the largest psitacidae in the world: with approximately one metre from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail, and weighing 1.3 Kg.
		The Hyacinth Macaw Project, started over 10 years ago by biologist Neiva Guedes, has the objective of promoting the conservation of the hyacinth macaw in Nature, while disseminating the importance of conserving the biodiversity of the Pantanal Wetlands region and mobilising the local population in favour of the region´s conservation.
