The Quest for the Blue-throated Macaw

    Blue throated macaws are an extremely rare animal all around the world. They are so rare that some people believe that the bird is only a myth. It wasnt always like this though, at one point this bird was very plentiful. Over 1,200 of these birds have been exported from JUST bolivia! Now today only 100 of these birds remain in the whole world because of trappers and exporters are selling these birds to other countries for large anounts of money. Unfortunatly for the birds their homes are being destroyed by people looking to tear down their forest for money. Its not all negatives for the bird though. The bolivian government has made a law that states capturing or making a profit of any sort from this bird is completely illegal. Also many american breeders have convinced the government to allow them to take the birds back with them to america and breed these birds and repopulate the country of bolivia back to its original state of the Blue-Throated Macaw being a common bird. Quest for the Blue Throated Macaw
