Scarlet Macaw chick 2005 disappears
The chick Toos and Nape were raising disappeared. We are not entirely sure on the cause but the previous day saw exceptional heavy downpours. The weather is the biggest killer of parrot chicks in the wild. But we can not exclude genetic problems for the chick as she was the product of three generation of inbreeding. Getting fresh blood into the population will be the priority for the upcoming breeding seasons. Contact us if you like to help us achieve this goal.
