Hyacinth Macaw

Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus

Description:

The Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) is one of 16 living species of macaws and the largest parrot in the world.

Habitat:

The Hyacinth Macaw avoids heavily forested areas throughout most of its range. Only in a small part of its range, in southeastern Paraguay, has it been recorded from a rainforest. Most of its range is lightly forested with the seasonally flooded grassland of Brazil's and Bolivia's Pantanal holding a major part of its population.

Notes:

Recent estimates of the number surviving in the wild have ranged from 2,500 to 5,000. Observed while staying at the wonderful Fazenda Barranco Alto.
