Hyacinth macaw
Hyacinth Macaws are parrots native to South America. They live together in small family groups and are very loyal to their partner. Because of their beautiful plumage, these birds are often kept as pets. Therefore, poaching is one of the main reasons for the dramatic decline of their populations. The progressive colonization of their habitats and the accompanying destruction of food sources should also be mentioned in this context.
