I don't know if you've caught this series on BBC1 but it's been great, I can highly recommend it

This weekend it was the last one
but it included a macaw that is so rare it's extinct in the wild, and the place where they were raising a chick had the only ones in captivity. You'd be drooling, watching it. Catch all of it on iPlayer NOW or treat yourself to the DVD when it comes out, you won't be sorry

Tony Juniper, Director of Friends of the Earth and Editor of the National Geographical Green Magazine, wrote an excellent book on the Spix' macaw, which explained it's extinction in the wild, the major difficulty of getting the people who own the ones in captivity, to agree to loan them for a captive breeding programme, and why blue macaws are so highly valued.
Well worth reading, if you can get your hands on a copy.

I loved it. Shame it was such a depressing subject.
