A large South American parrot with deep blue plumage and bright yellow skin around the eyes and lower bill.
Its large black bill ends in a hook. Males and females look alike.
Hyacinth Macaws eat palm nuts. In the Pantanal, manduvi tree cavities provide important nests, which the birds enlarge.
Pantanal birds have bred in artificial nests. Fire and land management threaten trees and regeneration; protecting existing cavities and future nesting trees supports continuity.
Bolivian work includes nest monitoring, nest boxes and community fire-prevention training. Trade reduction and habitat protection address pressures on the next generation.
