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