Makao Parrot

Explore the endangered Makao Parrot and learn about the threats they face in the wild due to trapping and habitat loss.

Macaws are among the most stunning species of birds. Unfortunately, the beauty of these birds sometimes comes at a price. For example, very heavy trapping for the wild bird trade is a big problem. In addition, ongoing habitat destruction has led many macaw species to be endangered in the wild. These endangered species include the Lear’s Macaw and Blue-throated Macaw.
