  • Lear's macaw is half of a Hyacinth Macaw, but when not together (and they never are in the wild) the yellow cheeks are very prominent in Lear's, nearly round balls, and the color of the iris is white, looks like white eyes instead of brown eyes of Hyacinth macaws.

  • When was this? I thought the Lears macaw was extinct.

  • This video was taken on November 27th, 2009. Lear's Macaw are not extinct, around 700 individuals left in the wild. Spix's Macaw is extinct in the wild since 2000, and Glaucous Macaw is extinct since 1934.

  • @baco1970 - there are unconfirmed reports of glaucous macaw in the wild.

  • @Piatnitskysaurus Just as you said UNCONFIRMED reports. People working in Paraguay (border with Brazil) think they saw a couple of macaws flying high against the light, could be a chance to be Hyacinth macaws.
