It is currently believed that the glaucous macaw made a comeback in captivity and is usually kept with its larger cousin Lear's macaw.
In terms of habitat The glaucous macaw is able to be found in sub-tropical forests of South America. They are most often located in areas with a lot of palm trees, and are believed to be extremely adaptable to a variety of forested habitats. These beautiful birds are territorial and will protect the feeding and nesting area from intruders.
There have been a variety of reports on the glaucous macaw through the years, but they are considered to be not reliable. The most recent wild claim was made by an avicultural friend of Ridgely who claimed to have spotted four Glaucous Macaws in Califomia. This claim is unacceptable until it is supported by solid evidence. Many experts have concluded that the bird is likely extinct because there are no records from the last century. However they have always been willing accept a remote chance of its survival. If it survives, it is extremely unlikely to make it to huge numbers.
Habitat
The macaw with the glaucous is a striking bird that is renowned for its large size and dazzling turquoise-blue coloring. The tail and wings are long, which aids in its graceful and agile movements. This bird is also an emblem of affection and loyalty. Its beak is mostly black and has a distinctive shape that allows it to break open seeds and nuts which make up a large portion of its diet.
The Glaucous Macaw is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN and the IUCN states that it is a small population and is at high danger of disappearing. The species was once widespread however, it is now found in northern Argentina, south Paraguay and north-eastern Uruguay, as well as Brazil from Parana state to south, where it is nestled in cliffs along major rivers.
The Glaucous Macaw was not rare in its limited range, even though there was no evidence of sightings after 1830. There were specimens collected until 1860 (in Corrientes). The last living Glaucous Macaw believed to originate from Brazil was displayed in the Buenos Aires Zoo back in 1936.
Re-evaluation of the historical documents suggests that this species was a rather generalist in its preferences for habitat, with a preference for areas of savanna that were interspersed with palm "islands" and areas of riparian forest along river systems. It was a particular eater of palm fruits, particularly those of the chatay palm (Butia yatay) however, it could also consume ripe and unripe fruit such as berries, nuts, and vegetables. It nestled on slopes and in cliffs, sometimes in tree cavities, and laid an average clutch of two eggs.
As with other parrots this bird was social and probably gregarious. It could live for up to 14.8 years in captivity and was said to be a dependable breeder that reproduced year after year. Its life expectancy in the wild was between 50 and 80 years. The species was a strong disperser of seeds, and could have contributed to the success of the palm yatay species in its natural habitats.
Feeding
The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is one of the most magnificent of all the species of parrots and has a a powerful impact in its environment. This large South American parrot is known for its vibrant blue feathers, bright yellow eyes and the teardrop-shaped lappet on the lower portion of its beak.
Until recently very little was known about eating habits of the Glaucous Macaw. The first references to the subject I have discovered are in two books by H.W. Bates, "The Naturalist on the Amazons" first published in 1863 about his 11 year sojourn in Brazil and later in his book "As Birds of the Brazilian Forests". Both are about the Hyacinthine severe macaw for sale, Anodorhynchus Aureolarius. There is no reason to believe that they do not apply to this species.
It is likely that the Glaucous Macaw was a particular for the consumption of palm nuts. It also consumed other seeds, fruits, and vegetable matter in smaller amounts. The diet of this species was likely influenced by the clearing of forests for agriculture and cattle-ranching by early colonists, as well the felling of yatay (Butia) palms from which it derived a lot of its nutrition.
In the wild the Glaucous Macaw was commonly found in subtropical forests that had cliffs and savannahs with palm trees, where it nestled in tree cavities and on rocky banks, or in the top of palm fronds. The female incubates and lays two eggs per.
The young Glaucous Macaws rely on their parents to provide care until they are able to fly and fully full fledged. Both males and females are very dedicated to their offspring, and hunt for food and defend them against predators.
Unfortunately unfortunately, the Glaucous Macaw has been eradicated from its entire previous range. The disappearance of the magnificent bird is likely due to the continued trapping of birds for the pet industry and disturbance to habitat, particularly the wholesale clearing of palm yatays which may have been its primary food source. The Glaucous Macaw is listed as Critically Endangered.
Breeding
Glaucous Macaws are monogamous, long-term pair. Both parents are involved in the raising of their young. They breed in the dry season, which is when the food supply is at its highest. Females lay two to three eggs which are incubated by the mother for around 28 days. For the first few weeks after hatching, the chicks are fed daily by their parents through regurgitation. The young macaws begin to explore and learn to feed themselves. They also learn to fly and forage.
Like all birds, glaucous macaws are social animals. They are active during the day but sleep at night. At night they usually seek shelter inside tree cavities or other suitable nesting places. They are very vocal and their calls can be heard throughout the forest during the day.
While it is hoped that the species will recover from its decline in the wild, the bird faces many threats, including loss of habitat, illegal trapping for the pet trade and deforestation. About 20 glaucous macaws are estimated to be living in the wild. The IUCN has classified the bird as "Critically endangered--possibly extinct."
The glaucous macaw is known as the Lear's macaw or blue-throated hummingbird, and is distinguished by its vibrant blue feathers. The parrot measures 70 centimeters long and features a powerful beaks that are capable of slicing open seeds and nuts.
