Hyacinth Macaw (Parrots in the Wild)

Page 1

Hyacinth Macaw Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus A flock of Hyacinth Macaws gather near the Hyacinth Valley ecotour site in NE Brazil. Thanks to the conservation efforts of WPT, Kaytee, Tropical Nature and other individuals, Hyacinth numbers are on the rise. In fact, Hyacinth Valley has become the best site in the world to photograph them in the wild. Lin’s group saw 40 macaws on average and more than 70 birds on one occasion as they came in to feed on their favourite palm nuts.
