A blue-and-yellow macaw, believed to be the only wild macaw left in Rio de Janeiro, has been spotted visiting the city’s zoo nearly every day to try to find a mate.
The bird, named Juliet, has appeared at the BioParque’s macaw enclosure almost every morning for the last two decades.
Blue-and-yellow macaws live to be about 35 years old and Juliet – no spring chicken – should have found a lifelong mate years ago, according to Neiva Guedes, president of environmental group the Hyacinth Macaw Institute.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Some have claimed she’s indulging a forbidden romance. More likely, loneliness compels her to seek company at Rio de Janeiro’s zoo.
Either way, a blue-and-yellow macaw that zookeepers named Juliet is believed to be the only wild bird of its kind left in the Brazilian city where the birds once flew far and wide.
