Blue and Yellow Macaw or Blue and Gold Macaw bird parrot - Ara ararauna, Jungle in Bolivia, South America
The Blue-throated Macaw (Ara glaucogularis; previously Ara caninde) is a macaw endemic to a small area of north-central Bolivia known as Los Llanos de Moxos. Recent population and range estimates suggests that about 100-150 individuals remain in the wild. The main causes of their demise is capture for the pet trade and land clearance on cattle ranches. It is currently considered critically endangered and the parrot is protected by trading prohibitions. The Blue and yellow Macaw Ara ararauna is also known as the Blue and gold Macaw and is a member of the macaw group of parrots which breeds in the swampy forests of tropical South America from Panama south to Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Trinidad.
