The birth takes the number of Spix Macaw birds in the world to 73
A new Spix Macaw has hatched in the Loro Parque on Tenerife.
It’s an endangered species and the new birth takes numbers up to only 73.
The new bird’s sex is still not known, but has doubled his or her weight in the few days since the birth on a diet of cereal porridge, vitamins, enzymes and egg white.
The elegant Spix Macaw is originally from Brazil and the foundation hopes numbers in the future will allow the birds to be released back into the wild.
