[edit] Image

It would be good to see a photograph of a Spix's macaw. Snowman 22:29, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

There is a pic on the German Wikipedia, but don't know how to incorporate it: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spix-Ara

It is grate to see an image on the page now. Snowman 14:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Extinct?

Can it be proven that this Macaw is extinct in the wild? YoungWebProgrammerMsg me 14:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

You can not prove that all swans are white, until you find a black one. Snowman (talk) 14:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Considering that these are flocking birds native to a restricted area, I think that you can do all but prove that they are EW. --Cynops3 (talk) 18:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I was talking about more of a proven reference that states the extinction status of the Spix Macaw. -- YoungWebProgrammerMsg me 05:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
It states on the IUCN page that the last known wild macaw died in 2000. --Cynops3 (talk) 15:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
