The Rewilding project for the Green-winged Macaw is now based at Reserva Don Luis. In the winter, a large aviary was installed in our woodland, Monte Nacurutu. The 5 Macaws were placed inside it for a period of quarantine, then released into our reserve. They have supplementary feeds so are not yet completely independent, and as a result can be seen around the woodland at feeding times. The Macaws are not new to our reserve, as we have a lot of native fruit, but we are happy to see them based with us. They were previously in the National Park, Cambyreta, but due to various pressures eg fires, drought and hunters, the team, led by Mane Massat, decided to move the project to our reserve.
