Melody Blue Spix Macaw

ac.jpegAfter a long period filled with worry and speculation Brazilians and German conservationists were able successfully bring a group of couples back into their natural habitat. Their story is inspiring, but also filled with resentment and jealousy.

b.jpegThe first hurdle was obtaining enough birds to exchange. The macaws were monogamous so it was important to ensure that the pairs were well-matched.

Range

A South African couple is working to save the critically endangered Spix's Ziggy Our Scarlet Macaw, which was declared extinct in 2000, following decades of poaching and habitat loss. They have a small number of the birds in captivity, and they hope to release them in the wild near Curaca. They call them their little blue friends and have compared their journey to the story of Presley, the last known Spix's macaw from the wild. They say he was as a true survivor, who lost his family, but remained loyal to the area. They feel a strong kinship to him and perceive their lives as similar to his.

The discovery of the last Spix's macaw provided a valuable opportunity for researchers to investigate its behavior in wild and gain a better understanding of how this species has survived for so long. It also helped them make a more precise estimate of the historic population numbers of this unique bird. Researchers were able to gather crucial information on the bird's daily movements, its seasonal adjustment to drought, and eating habits. They even monitored attempts to reproduce using an Illiger's and Spix's hybrid macaws which was a significant step in the rehabilitation of this species.

It was a marvellous achievement that this bird lived and thrived in the wild despite having a very limited gene pool. This has enabled scientists to better understand how these birds can be restored to the natural world. The survival of the bird that was killed motivated people to act in order to save other parrots and threatened species. This has also encouraged zoos to develop their own captive breeding programs for these exotic bird species.

This group of experts is a model for how conservation groups and other organizations can work together to conserve endangered species of wildlife and animals. The group is comprised of Brazilian government officials, zoo reps, international holders of the Spix’s Blondie scarlet macaw bird, and ornithologists to achieve one goal in common: the recovery of this unique bird.

The group has already completed a great deal of work. This includes preparing a plan to reintroduce the bird back to the wild. The group also raised funds for community outreach as well as field research and captive-bred birds for the project. It also has established an ongoing committee to oversee the rehabilitation of the bird.

Habitat

Ten years ago, the Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta Spixii) was believed to be extinct. It was threatened by the destruction of habitat and illegal poaching. Aviculturists and ornithologists as well as other experts continue to do their best to save this iconic bird back from the brink extinction.

The Spix's Macaw is known to millions around the world thanks to a cult animated film and two sequels. However, this is only the beginning on the long journey of returning these birds. For decades, an international team has been working to breed and reintroduce Spix's macaws raised in a captive environment back into the wild.

The Spix's Macaw is an endemic species found in a tiny region of northeast Brazil called the Caatinga. This desert region has flat savannah scrubland and is which is surrounded by seasonal streams and gallery forests. It was described in 1819 and is among the least-known Neotropical Parrots. There are only sporadic appearances in the wild, few captive birds and a few museum specimens.

To preserve the dwindling population In order to protect the declining population, an international committee was established that gathered aviculturists who had the last remaining birds and government officials. The group forged a partnership with the world-renowned non profit organization Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation of Qatar to establish a program to reintroduce Spix's Macaws to their natural habitat.

AWWP has purchased and is recovering 2,380 acres of prime habitat in the Caatinga area, close to Curaca, Brazil. AWWP is also raising and breeding birds to be released into the wild, thereby providing the genetically pure source of animals for future generations.

In the wild, Spix's macaws are found in trees and are rarely seen on the ground. They build nests in hollows or holes, and hunt 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 recruited as part of the field team in order to help to track Spix's macaws. Members of the community were given watches that could be activated if the Spix's macaw was observed which allowed them to keep on top of the birds' movements and their daily movements in the wild. This method has proven to be successful.

Diet

The Spix's Macaw is the only species belonging to the Genus Cyanopsitta. The International Union for Conservation of Nature declared it extinct in the wild on April 1st, 2019. This was in the wake of the last wild parrot vanished in 2000. No additional birds were observed in subsequent surveys. A reintroduction plan is in the process of attempting to bring this critically endangered bird back to its home in the Caatinga.

This dry forest is located in the region 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 in progress. Eight Spix's Macaws that were raised in captivity 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, which have been released back into the same area and will help to share knowledge about food sources and nesting and roosting locations.

The reintroduction program has collected valuable biological data about the behavior of the bird, which includes details of daily movement patterns and adjustments to drought. It also provides a window into the natural history of the Spix's Macaw which helps to discover the reasons behind its extinction in the wild.

Spix's Macaws consume the fruits, nuts and seeds of many plants that are native to the Caatinga Biome. Pinhao-bravo and linhas Brasil, as well as facheiro (Pilosocereus Pachycladus) are all part of this diet. The acai palm (Acaia olive) and mofumbo (Combretum léprosum) fruits are also edible.

Spix's Macaws, like all parrots and other bird species are social birds that develop close bonds with their parents. They are vocal and often mimic human speech and other sounds. They make a mating call called the "whichaka," which is described as a brief, repetitive grating sound similar to a flute note. They are well-known for flying fast and high when they are in a breeding mood.

Breeding

Spix's Macaws are highly intelligent and social birds. They communicate through screeching, squawking and other sounds. As with many parrots they are able to mimic human speech. They follow a strict routine, which includes flight patterns and bathing habits. They also can recognize other members of their flock. This is why they are such popular pets, and also a target for illegal trade in birds.

In the early 1980s, just three Spix’s macaws remained in the wild. They were all poached. A plan to pair the male and female unsuccessful in 1995 when poachers killed both birds. Since then, all Spix's Macaws are captive-bred, mostly in Brazil.

The few Spix's macaws kept in captivity are a mix of individuals that are the descendants of just two individuals, which makes them susceptible to illness and other environmental challenges. The majority of the birds in captivity are housed at the breeding center in Germany however, this year an agreement between the German conservation center and the Brazilian government was not renewed, casting doubt over future plans to repatriate the birds and reintroduce them into the wild.

Despite their precarious number the captive-bred Spix's macaws exhibit some signs of improvement. This was evident when the Swiss breeder beat the sheikh of Qatar to purchase three Spix's Macaws from a collector.

In the wake of this and other efforts, the captive-bred birds are starting to reproduce again, although not at a great rate. Reintroducing the birds to the wild will require that they remain healthy and produce. It is important to choose the correct birds before releasing them. Macaws should be of reproductive age and paired with siblings or close relatives.

Reintroducing the Spix's macaw to the wild could prove difficult, but it's important to try. To aid, ABC and partners have established a reserve system that aims to protect the species' last remaining habitats. The eight Spix's macaws that were recently released will be joined by Melody blue spix macaw-winged Macaws. These macaws are common in Caatinga and are found in areas where the Spix’s macaws also live. These birds will assist the macaws adapt to their new surroundings and will also ensure safety through the sheer numbers.
