Description
Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, ara hyacintovy) from ZOO Dvur Kralove nad Labem, Czech republic. Wonderful parrot
____________
INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus)
Location: near rivers in Brazilian / Amazonian rainforests
Size: 100 cm long body, 140 cm wingspan weight: 2 kg
Diet: fruit, nuts, coconuts, seeds, but also small animals
Conservation status: Endangered
Interesting facts: Hyacinth macaw is the biggest parrot on Earth | hyacinth macaw can live 80 years! | those parrots live in pairs or in small groups. They usually have two or three babies and parents care for them for five months | the amazing colour of their body almost killed those amazing and wonderful macaws. Humans were hunting hyacinth macaws to sell them, as many collectors were ready to pay crazy amounts of money just to gain one of these parrots. Fortunately, some special program was started and now native people gain more money, when they show Hyacinth macaws to tourists in the nature, so they have no reason to catch and sell those magical birds

I wish we still had them here in the Vienna Zoo, but one of them died because of some stupid visitors and then the other one was gone too, but I don't know what happened to him.

There are still two Wolves in their enclosure, but they are very old and you can really see that they have trouble with walking. They are also not very active anymore, so you have to be lucky if they come close to you.
I've been to the zoo today and I made some pictures but the weather wasn't very good and there was not much light.
Maybe I will go again this week, but I'm not sure yet.

thank you for info and good luck with photos next time
Hm, maybe Vienna will keep wolves from our ZOO - we have 11 of them in one enclosure and Vienna's exhibit is quite nice, missing only some water stream

Maybe if the old Wolves die they will rebuild their enclosure. It could use some enhancements.
