The description of Hyacinth Macaw


Nesting takes place between July and December, with nests constructed in tree cavities or cliff faces depending on the habitat.In the
Pantanal region, 90 of nests are constructed in the manduvi tree Sterculia apetala. The hyacinth macaw depends on the toucan, for its
livelihood. The toucan contributes largely to seed dispersal of the manduvi tree that the macaw needs for reproduction.However, the
toucan is responsible for dispersing 83 of the seeds of Sterculia apetala, but also consumes 53 of eggs preyed.Hollows of sufficient
size are only found in trees around 60 years of age or older, and competition is fierce.Existing holes are enlarged and then partially
filled with wood chips.The clutch size is one or although usually only one fledgling survives as the second egg hatches several days
after the first, and the smaller fledgling cannot compete with the firstborn for food.
The hyacinth macaw is an endangered species due to the cage bird trade and habitat loss.In the 1980s, an estimated 10,000 birds were
taken from the wild and at least 50 were destined for the Brazilian market.Throughout the macaws range, habitat is being lost or altered
of hydroelectric schemes.Annual grass fires set by farmers can destroy nest trees, and regions previously inhabited by this macaw are
now unsuitable also due to agriculture and plantations. Locally, it has been hunted for food, and the Kayapo Indians of Gorotire in
south-central Brazil use its feathers to make headdresses and other ornaments. While overall greatly reduced in numbers, it remains
locally common in the Brazilian Pantanal, where many ranch-owners now protect the macaws on their land.
Parrots as a whole, being of the family Psittacidae, are some of the most threatened birds in the world. This family has the most
endangered species of all bird families, especially in the neotropics, the natural home of the hyacinth macaw, where 46 of 145 species
are at a serious risk of global extinction.This species qualifies as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the population has
suffered rapid reductions with the remaining threats of illegal trapping for the cage bird trade and habitat loss A few serious threats
to the survival of the species in the Pantanal include human activities, mainly those resulting in habitat loss, the burning of land
for pasture maintenance, and illegal The exceptionally noisy, fearless, curious, sedentary, and predictable nature of this species,
along with its specialization to only one or two species of palm in each part of its range, makes them especially vulnerable to capture,
shooting, and habitat destruction.Eggs are also regularly preyed on by corvids, opossums, and coatis.Adults have no known natural
predators.The young are parasitized by larvae of flies of the genus.
