Species
Critically EndangeredObservations: Very little is known about these critically endangered animals, which have not been sighted in decades and might even be extinct. One specimen lived 14.8 years in captivity (Brouwer et al. 2000). Anecdotal reports of animals living over 20 years in captivity might be true but are impossible to verify.

The glaucous macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is a critically endangered or possibly extinct species of large, blue and grey South American parrot, a member of a large group of neotropical parrots known as macaws. This macaw is closely related to Lear's macaw (A. leari) and the hyacinth macaw (A. hyacinthinus). In Guarani, it is called gua'a hovy after its vocalizations.
