Fun Fact: Unlike the movie Rio, the spix macaw is not a bird from the Amazon rainforest, but from the Caatinga biome, which is a unique biome in northeastern region of Brazil.
They were actually *never* from the Amazon rainforest, even in the Rio movies. One population migrated TO the amazon rainforest to seek refuge from humans, and they made it their home, but they are not true natives there, they are basically immigrants.
This is wonderful! They are so beautiful. Involving children is so important. I’m 73 and my parents were early conservationists. So many species have gone extinct in my life…every victory over extinction means so much to me. It’s good to cry with joy.
It was so easy for the poachers to destroy the wild population, while it took so much work and effort to restore it But we have to thank all of you who are involved in bringing this magnificent bird back to nature
I'm so pleased to see the Spix's macaw is now back in the wild. I've known about this parrot for many years and years ago I didn't think that this day would come but it has and that makes really happy that they're back home in the wild where they belong.
Ever since I heard about the first clutch of eggs being laid in the wild for the very first time in Brazilian natural history, I wondered of what has become of them. From this, I’m very glad to hear that they’re taking their rightful place in the skies of their ancestors but also saddened to acknowledge that the first brood died off before even having the chance to literally spread their wings. As a child, I often watched the “Rio” films on repeat, unbeknownst of the fact that they’re actually based on a species of macaw with the very same name on the brink of extinction, only to find out later on that they were saved by the last minute. When those candidates first arrived in Brazil, it was ironic that it was in the exact same day when COVID-19 changed the world forever. I recall reading about their plan afterwards once they got them settled in in their reintroduction facility in a article that was not easy to find since much information couldn’t be released just yet, due to its infancy of the project. Seeing those macaws taking flight, it made my heart rejoice because all of this was nearly 2 decades in the making and it turned into another conservation success story. Because of them, we now have opportunity to see them flourish and regain their spot in that particular ecosystem that was long severed. I look forward to the day where I can see those cerulean birds with my own eyes in the future. Thank you, ACTP. May your legacy forever be marked in the pantheon of naturalists and God bless your efforts of preserving one of his many creations. 💙🐦🦜✈
I cannot describe how happy i was when discovered our blue friends comming back...i lived my entire infancy in Bahia,i was SOOOO RELIEVED,it was like having a part of me back
This is amazing! It’s so incredible to see that conservation work really does work and must be so gratifying to know you’re helping bring a whole species back! Great job! Thanks for doing such important work!
The video is simply fantastic! The story is told in an interesting way and runs very smoothly. The interaction between editing and music is perfect. Wonderful ....
N'oubliez pas notre équipe belge du Park Pairi Daiza. On voit notamment notre super vétérinaire Tim dans votre vidéo le jour où on a relâché ces superbes oiseaux ❤❤❤
My sentiments exactly. That and stop the politicians from destroying the habitat on a whim. Like the forest fires some years ago, the random mining projects and the pollution of their waterways. But this happens here in Oz also. No forward planning.
The glaucous macaw is proud of them, I hope the glaucs are still around, people claim to have seen them. If they are, I'd definetely want to see them have the same powerful comeback as spix
I'm Brooklyn T. Guy, and I speak for the Spix's macaws, and the fact is, things aren't perfect here in Brazil, and there only gonna get worse unless we do something about it, unless we change our ways, and we can start by reintroducing this parrot. *Shows the Spix's macaw*
good to see macaw go freedom rather than learning bad words/swear words/cursed words/or any human language with human. is vital for them to be natural to speak macaw's language. the male parrot able to mimic human word yet female won't. why ? is actually they mimic voice to find mating partner (Not featured to flirt with female human by talk "i love you") Therefore ,is animal abuse. I can't wait to see them back to normal in their own land. Very good and very beautiful. keep on a good job to conservative these beautiful bird. Whoever, want pets. Please !, go for cats and dogs first the most invasive animal on earth that a must stop over populated , adopt don't shop, spay and neutral is vital.
There used to be a Bird Park on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, called "Loro Parque". They had a breeding population of Spix's Macaws. Were they involved in this project?
Calling all animal lovers! Listen here and listen well. Cody Roberts of Wyoming has yet to be punished for his horrific crime of animal abuse towards a young wolf. If any of you care, please fight that real justice be met! No animal abuser should go off with just a slap on the wrist. We must come together to ensure no animal abuser get away with such an awful act! #JusticeForWolves
@@remuel1 I know I think they have low reproductive symptom. I think it every four years after the first rain triggers them to build a nest and breed. Only one chick services to adulthood normally it the first one that hatch is the one that service
I did wonder about that myself. But that's probably why they involved the community so much. In effect, the organisation has created many excellent custodians to protect the macaws and the forest from further exploitation. The community won't want to be seen to fail.
Poachers exist to fulfill demand If there is a high demand for these birds, more than qualified breeders can supply, the poachers will fill that supply
Thank you very much for bringing from extinction these blue parrots.also you can bring from extinction the Kauai'O'O,Oahu'O'O,Bishop O'O-,Hawai O'O-,Red-Blue Parrots,the Dodo and many of them.🦜🦋🦆🐬🐛🐢🐄🦘🕊️🐇🦓🐘🦚🌴🌲🐴🏜️🌻💮

Which is a much dryer area, mind you.

How are poachers going to be treated in the future? Harshly, I hope.
Fun fact: the plight of the spix macaws is what the movie Rio is based on
no sht bro
@@hoihoipoipoi jesus christ, some people haven't seen the movie why be such a hater?
@@Grgwhhehe r33r33 its literally stated IN THE DOCU.
Thank you!!!!
@@hoihoipoipoi doesn't matter if it is, the least you can do is not be such a dick about it lmao.
I’m 18 now and I’ve been following this for many years, this made me cry I’m so happy and excited for the Spix’s macaw !

Have been following this project for years now, great to see spix's back in wild.
Save birds ! save our planet !✊😊
Thank you for all your hard works. I've been following the project on Facebook since Day1, and its progress never ceases to amaze me.
Very good news to hear/read this I'm glad they are re-installing the Spix's macaws and all sorts of ways to protect them!
As a bird lover , it has won my heart❤. Great work 👏 appreciate your work 👍❤

Well done, great job !!!!
Kudos to the hard working staff! I love animals 😃
Hope and faith. Beautiful.
I salute all of you taking part.
Amazing job, congrats to all that have participated!
As long as man is around, these birds are in peril.
What a great, beautiful project
Best Rio 3 movie ever...
Is actually documentary continuing the movie itself
So wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Amezing story....
wow great job
The creators of rio would be so happy for these birds
I heard a 3rd movie is planned, can't wait to see, probably one of my favorite birds.
Now we need to put trackers on poachers and rewards for turning them in
My sentiments exactly. That and stop the politicians from destroying the habitat on a whim. Like the forest fires some years ago, the random mining projects and the pollution of their waterways. But this happens here in Oz also. No forward planning.
Hope
That is amazing 😍
Woah, long lost birdie now brought back!!!!!!!!
The glaucous macaw is proud of them, I hope the glaucs are still around, people claim to have seen them. If they are, I'd definetely want to see them have the same powerful comeback as spix
thx u
so beautiful such creatures deserve better and so do the EARTH

Beautiful bird
Hats off ❤
So beautifully
The blue throated macaw of Bolivia? Only 50 pairs left in the wild.
#spixgohome, good luck little guys
Amazing
Hope they don't just end up in the illegal pet trade
How did they teach the birds about predators?
The last news you brought in this video are from 2022... There were any other releases since then? Are they reproducing in the wild?
They finally did this year first baby blues born in the wild ❤
good to see macaw go freedom rather than learning bad words/swear words/cursed words/or any human language with human.
is vital for them to be natural to speak macaw's language.
the male parrot able to mimic human word yet female won't.
why ?
is actually they mimic voice to find mating partner (Not featured to flirt with female human by talk "i love you")
Therefore ,is animal abuse.
I can't wait to see them back to normal in their own land. Very good and very beautiful.
keep on a good job to conservative these beautiful bird.
Whoever, want pets.
Please !, go for cats and dogs first the most invasive animal on earth that a must stop over populated , adopt don't shop, spay and neutral is vital.
There used to be a Bird Park on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, called "Loro Parque".
They had a breeding population of Spix's Macaws.
Were they involved in this project?
yes i think so

what he did?
They should focus on breeding Philippine eagles and the Javan and Sumatran rhinos 🦏 fewer than 100 rhinos of both species
They have tried with both Philippine eagles and Sumatran rhinos but little to no success.
Philippine eagles are very difficult to breed
@@remuel1 I know I think they have low reproductive symptom. I think it every four years after the first rain triggers them to build a nest and breed. Only one chick services to adulthood normally it the first one that hatch is the one that service
and how did they get to go extinct? humans and their greed. you don't think they will be targeted by poachers again?
😢
I did wonder about that myself. But that's probably why they involved the community so much. In effect, the organisation has created many excellent custodians to protect the macaws and the forest from further exploitation. The community won't want to be seen to fail.
That's why community education is important, unless there is a viable breeding population the risk would be there. Hope they succeed ❤
Poachers exist to fulfill demand
If there is a high demand for these birds, more than qualified breeders can supply, the poachers will fill that supply
@@SweetCandyDragon yes, of course there is a demand for a bird that exists only in captivity. The rarer the bird, the more the demand there is.
I can’t to own one as a pet ❤
Yes it would be very illegal and you would be a terrible person if you did so
@@Deehan_Oofhuh how
Now when their populations are recovering. The people should not kill and potch them again like in the past
Is like the film
Anyone else thought these birds were purely fiction from the movie "Rio"? 😂
❤️
they shut release some on florida xD like back up population xD
Or Australia...because each time a non native animal is let loose there they seem to become a plague and invasive species 😂
@@jase123111 both of these are crazy suggestions. they need to be in their home in the Brazilian Caatinga.
@@geoffbreen2386 not grazy, Amazona ochrocephala have big population in german and its propably why they can now save the wild population.
❤🇨🇷brav
So many police escorting the vehicles, just shows how precious this bird is. At same time the police were needed because of greedy poachers
yay
Insperation for rio??
yes
But very likely who was responsible for nearly eradicating them in the first place ?
Us.
The irony.
Turn the background music up I could almost hear the narrator speaking.
_Very Nice Work. Why don’t those guys make a campaign against the Stupidity of War produced by the plutocrats who rule the world?_
Who’s your favorite actor in this?
What do you mean actor?
These birds get armed guards and a motorcade.
OMG
Howd they teach them about hawks, owls and cats? Uh oh
_There is no return from extinction._
Need something figured out and done right bring in the Germans.
Extinction? Isn't that when the entire.species is dead?
They were extinct in the wild, not captivity.
wtf again it will be exitined in their home place in brazil
Music is very bad too much loud and distracting
The what macaw? Just because they're from down south doesn't mean we can go use that language. Lol.
The ai voice feels tacky. Great otherwise! :D
It's amazing 😍🎉
Thank you very much for bringing from extinction these blue parrots.also you can bring from extinction the Kauai'O'O,Oahu'O'O,Bishop O'O-,Hawai O'O-,Red-Blue Parrots,the Dodo and many of them.🦜🦋🦆🐬🐛🐢🐄🦘🕊️🐇🦓🐘🦚🌴🌲🐴🏜️🌻💮
