❗Extinct in the wild! The Return - Updates 🌎After the good news about the first successful natural breeding, we are now witnessing with great excitement as the oldest of the two chicks begins to explore the entrance to the nest. The day of fledging is approaching!

World Sensation: a fundamental milestone the Spix’s Macaw Release Project has now achieved – successful reproduction in the wild. Wild hatching of two healthy chicks of Spix's Macaw, a species that has been extinct in the wild for over 20 years.

An incredible milestone in the Spix's Macaw Release Project. The first birds to be released were examined yet by our vet and moved to the 10-meter high release aviary. #spixsAreComingHome
