Further successes at Loro Parque in hatching a female of Spix's Macaw and in rearing two of them

Further to the good news from Loro Parque I can confirm that the Spix's Macaw - a female - hatched by the team at Al-Wabra Wildlife Preservation in Qatar at the end of last October is well and thriving. This is in addition to their success in rearing two young earlier in the year (see the news item below on 1st June 2005)
