Macaws

Macaws can be big or small, but they comprise the world's largest parrots. Unfortunately, three macaw subspecies are in danger of extinction. Loss of habitat, hunting and illegal trapping are causing these macaw varieties - the Glaucous, Little Blue and Idigo - to disappear. Now, it is estimated that only 3,000 hyacinth macaws (pictured above) can be found in the wild.
