Reintroduction to the Wild
Other macaws of her species could be reintroduced into the wild as part of a recent zoo project, allowing Juliet the opportunity to travel with friends and maybe find love. They re social birds, which means they don t want to live alone, whether in the wild or in captivity, says the author. They need company, said Guedes, who is also the project coordinator for a macaw testing project in urban areas. Juliet very likely feels alone and goes to the enclosure to chat and bond as a result.
Blue and Yellow Macaw
According to Marcelo Rheingantz, a scientist at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the last sighting of a blue-and-yellow macaw flying free in Rio was in 1818 by an Austrian naturalist. (The Spix s macaws featured in the 2011 animation film Rio are endemic to a separate part of Brazil and may be extinct in the wild.)
