Some costarican and international organization try to conserve this bird and reproduce them but still, they are in danger of extinction.
Their main diet is Fruits and seeds of plants, especially they love to eat almendro tree (in Spanish, almendro means almond)
We have been planting a lot of almendro tree in Pierella Garden and these trees produce a important food resource for Great Green Macaw!!
So they began to visit our garden to eat almendro’s seeds and also to rest.
