FIRST EGGS HATCH
SINCE THE BIRDS WERE
REINTRODUCED INTO THEIR NATURAL
HABITAT
2023
REINTRODUCTION OF 20 SPIX’S MACAWS INTO THEIR NATURAL HABITAT
IN BRAZIL
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PROJECT:
MORE THAN 58% OF THE SPIX’S MACAWS REINTRODUCED INTO THE WILD WERE STILL ALIVE AT
THE END OF THEIR FIRST YEAR, WHICH IS EXTREMELY ENCOURAGING BY SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS.
BREEDING ATTEMPTS WERE ALSO OBSERVED, ONE OF WHICH RESULTED IN THE HATCHING
AND REARING OF TWO CHICKS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DIED SHORTLY BEFORE OR JUST AFTER
FLEDGING. DESPITE THIS, THE RESULTS ARE A PROMISING FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE SUSTAINABLE
RETURN OF THE SPIX’S MACAW TO ITS NATURAL HABITAT.
