UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank. These threats are further exacerbated by the naturally low reproductive rates of these cavity-nesting birds.
