Exciting News

Two new parrots added to our education flock!

The Learning Center has some news!!! We will be receiving two new parrots that will be part of our education flock. Beni a Blue-throated Macaw, and Wrigley a Double Yellow Headed Amazon. 

 The BTM is a highly endangered species, with about 300 birds remaining in the wild it’s the most endangered macaw species still in the wild.

The Blue-throated Macaw lives in the savanna of the Beni Department  of Bolivia, nesting in random clusters of palm trees throughout the level plains. It is not a forest dwelling bird.

In the wild the Blue-throated Macaw often competes for nesting-holes in trees with the Blue-and-yellow Macaw, large woodpeckers and toucans. The number of suitable nest trees has been reduced by land clearing in its range. 
The presence of this bird will help to expand our conservation teachings to all who visit Learning Center. 
 
The DYHA is semi-endangered with about 7,000 remaining in its natural habitat which is in Central and South America. In the wild, they generally live in large, noisy flocks.  The DYHA is known to be the most talkative, playful, and friendly of all the Amazon parrots.  We know the presence of this bird will make the Learning Center an even more fun and educational experience for all!!
