We have been following the ARA Project's Buffon's Macaws 2nd release programme in Costa Rica over the last six months and what an amazing story it has been! In the May issue the final bird flies and a very successful programme, as far as the releases are concerned, draws to an end. Don't miss the final instalment!
Although in the future I am sure we will do an update on all the birds and find out what they are getting up to.

Pairing up companion Amazons when they reach breeding age, because they start getting noisy and difficult to handle, is a controversial subject! Read our lively debate on the subject in our letters page in the May issue and learn how two experienced Amazon owners have overcome the problem, but in different ways.
