Makao Parrot

Macaws are among the most stunning species of birds. Unfortunately, the beauty of these birds sometimes comes at a price. Very heavy trapping for the wild bird trade, combined with ongoing habitat destruction, has led many macaw species to be endangered in the wild, such as theLear’s Macaw andBlue-throated Macaw.  In fact, the increasingly rareSpix’s Macaw may already be extinct in the wild, with a world population of only 130 in captive care.Learn more about each incredible macaw species below.
