They are among the most endangered species of aviculture and their wild habitat is threatened by deforestation. + +MRN is committed to protecting their habitat and create corridors to connect protected areas. MRN also collaborates with local communities to educate them about the value of this species. + +Habitat + +The great green macaw, despite being among the most beautiful and intelligent birds on the planet has been subject to a variety of threats in the last few decades. BirdLife International has listed this species as critically endangered. Habitat loss, unsustainable logging and conversion to agriculture have drastically reduced the birds' numbers and range. In addition, farmers often shoot these beautiful birds as they are seen as crop pests, and they also capture them for the pet trade. + +These beautiful birds live in humid lowland forests and forest edges. They feed primarily on mountain almond trees (Dipterix panamensis) and nest in tree cavities. They are known for their sociable nature and their sociable behavior in family groups outside of the breeding season. + +Their wing and tail feathers are long, pointed for efficient flight in the forest canopy. Their beaks, which are large and powerful, permit them to break open the tough shells of seeds, nuts, and bark. They also love eating flowers, roots, and fruits. The great green Macaw can be heard using a variety of calls to communicate with its members of its family and potential mates. Their calls can be heard as screeches, whistles, and squawks. + +These magnificent birds play crucially in their ecosystems as seed dispersers. This species' presence in the wild helps to improve the health and diversity of rainforest habitats. They are an essential part of the food web, drawing animals such as insects and monkeys that help spread seeds of trees and plants. + +There are a number of non-profit organizations that work to protect this beautiful bird's habitat. They are buying land to establish reserves, and working with local communities to help promote sustainable livelihoods. They are implementing conservation strategies to reduce human-macaw contact. They also provide opportunities for people to learn more about the beautiful bird. Being able to see this majestic creature in its natural environment is truly an unforgettable experience. + +Diet + +The great green Macaw is a stunning bird that lives in the rainforests of Central America and South America. They spend most of their time in pairs or small groups, high in the trees, eating seeds and nuts. They use their powerful beaks to break the hard shells of these items. They are essential seed dispersers and help to maintain healthy forests. They also play an important role in the ecosystem by providing food to other species that are endangered, such as the Scarlet [macaw Adoption](https://buy-macaw.com/) and Yellow-naped Amazon. + +The large parrot has an overwhelmingly green body that is complemented by splashes of red on the cheeks, foreheads and the lower back of their wings. The tops of their heads are completely naked and they have an extended beak with an incredibly curvature. The curve is an adaptation that helps them break open the hard shells of seeds, nuts and other nuts. + +In the wild they consume a variety of things such as seeds, bark and roots, as well as bulbs, flowers, and fruit. They are known to love the fruit of the mountain almond tree (Almendra Guayaquilensis). They also go to clay licks, which are places where birds lick clay, believing it has beneficial health benefits for them. + +The habitat loss has made it impossible for them to survive in the wild. They are also rescued to be used in the illegal trade in pets. + +The good news is that a variety of organizations are working to save this stunning bird and ensure it has a safe place to be in the wild. World Land Trust, for example, supports reserves such as the Rio Canande Reserve in Ecuador where artificial macaw nests are being constructed. + +It is important for those who keep the birds as pets to allow plenty of space as well as provide them with an aliment similar to the one they would consume in the wild. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be provided, especially ones that are high in vitamins, such as sweet potatoes, carrots and bananas. It is also a great idea to let them run, play and stretch their legs for 2-3 hours a day. This will keep them happy and healthy. + +Nesting + +The great green Macaw is nestled in a tree cavity typically in the mountain almendros' trunk (Dipteryx panamensis), or tit o (Sacoglottis trichogyna). They also use other trees, such as beach almond (Dipteryx Oleifera) and caivo (Prioria copaifera) and caobilla (Carapa nicaraguensis). A pair could lay as many as two eggs. The incubation period is about 28 days. After the chicks have fledged, they leave the nest. + +The greatest danger is the loss of habitat caused by humans, particularly through agriculture and logging. Deforestation has resulted in a dramatic decline in populations of the great green Macaw which is classified as endangered in Costa Rica. This has occurred mostly in the 1980s. Conservation efforts are being made to save the species, but the challenge is immense. + +Education is key in preserving habitat. Outreach programs in communities, schools and other places help people to understand the importance of this bird and inspire them in conservation efforts. Eco-tourism is a different tool that can provide economic incentives for people to protect the magnificent green macaw habitat. + +Research has revealed that there aren't enough breeding pairs to sustain and grow the population. It is important to create protected zones and reserve corridors for the birds to find suitable mates. Conservation efforts include captive breeding as well as the construction of artificial nests that reduce the risk of predation. + +The great green macaw is also at risk of being poached, especially in Central America. Birds are killed or shot because of their attractive markings or because they are thought to be agricultural pests. In Ecuador, WLT supporter ProBosque is working with local communities to protect the species in the Rio Canande Reserve and Cerro Blanco Woodland Reserve. The project examines the impact of artificial breeding in this delicate area. It is expected that this research will lead to the development of new, improved nest designs that will lower the risk of being preyed upon by various species. These improvements will be a major step forward in the effort to save this majestic bird. + +Breeding Season + +The breeding season of the great green macaw occurs between January and August with the peak occurring in February and May. During this time the female will pick a nesting spot within the forest canopy. This is typically an area of Dipteryx species. Females will lay 3-4 eggs that are then incubated for 26 to 28 days. Both parents will feed the chicks. The first-year survival rate is 65percent. + +Due to the increased risk of predation and unstable habitat, it's difficult for the great green macaw to sustain the stability of its population. To combat this, conservationists have built artificial nests to put in secure, safe trees. Nests like these protect young birds against predators and weather conditions. They also provide a chance for humans to observe the success of the birds and their breeding. + +Great green macaws are seen in pairs but also in small groups of 10 to 15 individuals. The lowland rainforests of the tropical lowlands, stretching from eastern Honduras up to north-western Colombia and west Ecuador, are the habitat of these birds. Birds are found in the canopy of the forest but they also frequent the foothills. They consume seeds and fruit and occasionally hard-shelled nut shells. + +Many non-profit groups are working to preserve the natural habitat of this great green macaw. They collaborate with local communities and buy land to promote sustainable farming and alternative income sources. They also monitor the macaws to detect threats and mitigate their impact. + +Being able to see the magnificent green macaw in its natural surroundings is an unforgettable experience for tourists who visit Costa Rica. Many eco-lodges and tour operators offer birdwatching activities, giving tourists a opportunity to observe these magnificent birds while learning about their habitats and conservation efforts. + +With the danger of habitat loss due to mining and logging, the population of the great green macaw is decreasing. Conservationists are making a difference by creating protected areas and ensuring that the macaw is able to access routes between these areas. They also establish breeding programs and encourage community involvement to help protect the macaw. \ No newline at end of file
