Spix's Macaw
In the latest issue of Cyanopsitta, the magazine of the Loro Parque Fundacion in Tenerife, I was delighted to see a photograph of three young Spix's Macaws. There are now two pairs of Spix's that may breed and more to come, hopefully! Director, David Waugh, has been instrumental in acquiring additional birds to strengthen the breeding project, which is good news for this very endangered species, now only surviving within aviculture. Let's hope this project goes from strength to strength!
