Speechless.... so wonderfull... Good Job! Two thumbs up!
just want to say that half the people commenting don't know what they are talking about! Yes, there is a lot of illegal bird trade but it is important to breed them in captivity if the species is decreasing in the wild. Without breeders most species of birds would be extinct. This is why it is important to take care of them, (Like the people in this video) and release them so the population of these birds and environment can benefit. Humans are not the only problems to the repopulation of these majestic and beautiful animals. Let's thank God for all that he created and that humans care enough to take care of his creation.
Well, humans ARE most of the reason why all the extinct animals are extinct. If it wasn't for us, the western black rhino would still be walking this earth with the lion (etc) as it's only small threat. And for the birds... We are poaching, ruining their forests, and capturing them from their natural habitat and putting most of them in such a small cage that the bird can't even stretch his/her wings!
Sienna Crosby .. yoh' the last part you mention about small cage size... is worse than a problem.
ON that note... I am not sure how it is where you are, but here in my country, { The Republic of South Africa} the SPCA are not educated, neither are they seemingly concern with the wellbeing of birds ...smh
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, is this supposed to be correcting me/lecturing me? I just don't understand because it sounds like you're agreeing for a second and then you put an 'smh' which basically tells me that you're annoyed/angry. Can you re-write that... 😬
You're correct because that bird they are so happy because they are free to fly wherever they want.. But they dont know is that the hawks and eagles are going to kill and eat them.. I hope they wont be killed by humans and also predators
@@HAKDOG-bp1mi there are very few predators of macaws, but you are right, they must be vigilant for hawks and other birds of prey. even a pet bird, taken outside will get antsy if they spot a hawk or eagle in a tree tho the human won't.
Thank you so much, its horrible they are in trading. This means so much to me❤ they deserve to be living the life. Well done
This is beautiful to watch the macaws be free and happy it makes my heart feel good great amazing job guys 😁🥲
amazing, wonderful, beautiful creatures. thanks for putting them in the wild!
What a fantastic moving video ....I loved every second of it !!!!!!..... I am sitting here in Southern California with my 28 year old, hand fed baby --Scarlett macaw --that I raised from birth ,watching this video and crying my eyes out!!!!!.....So moving..... She has full flight and I've never clipped her wings,,,,,,she walks everywhere.....Mt. biked ,hiked, tent camping, together...for 25 years....
UT, AZ, CO, NM, NV, and CA...
Thats awesome
Thank you for releasing them. They deserve to be free.
Simply beautiful.
Beautiful moments
So wonderful. May Beneficent Celestials and compassionate humans protect them always!!
Thank you all for doing this 🙏🏻
beautiful moment 😍
Heartwarming/ years of hard work
Thanks all of you
such a beautiful thought that there are good people in this world
God thank you for these wonderful people who have done this.....fly real high you macaws and if you see my daughter up in those tell her mom 's gonna see her again ,and I'll always love her....alpha Lee's mommy
Proud of you guys
Thank you very much for this great job my friend I released many goldfinches I have some videos in my channel thank you again and good luck for your future projects
Faith in humanity restored!👍 we need more people like this
All of you stay blessed
that person's tears were so real lol
I feel very bad for encaged birds. I wonder what pleasure do people get by imprisioning birds in cage. They are not the show pieces. They are free creatures.
people that keep pet birds know that they are not supposed to keep them in a cage all day. the cages are for sleeping only. most pet birds roam the house and interact with everyone 12 hours per day and they must have 12 hours covered sleeping at night. most of the day your bird will follow you around chatting and acting silly with you like a toddler. they love the attention of their humans and also the other pets in the home. to keep a bird in a cage all day is considered abusive by pet bird owners.
I keep pets to study their behaviours
Who else cried?
Gordon Ramsey damn i did not you have a soft side too. now go back to shouting in the kitchen
Chinese Doggo I did
"only a bird lover knows the feeling"
Dean Oswell yeah
I cried
Give a big salute
U made me really emotional
Captive bred, but not tame / bonded to any humans i think?
Else they would have probably turned around at some point
God bless you❤️
Amazing & touching VIDEO! BRAVI!
Some were released in my area... in England lol- they’re cool to see tho
They wont survive there. Very irresponsible for someone to release a macaw in the Uk. They are tropical parrots😪
@@SicilyBlandina those were probably pet parrots allowed to free fly. Their owners let the out every day to fly and then take them back home. Check out Mikey the Macaw or Birdtricks on youtube. They're awesome!
@@alisav8394 was just about to say they probably saw saw mikey or mia 😂😂
STOP DISABLING THE COMMENTS PBS
Well done
Did anyone else think of the movie Rio? I did! 😁😊
The spix macaws are extinct maybe😭😭😭
@@MZracist they are alive but few of them
In this thing called LOVE
Jako su ljepi obozavam ih
Thankas
amazing-
birds are meant to be flying and free. !! I got teary eyes!!
Well done you all Fantastic
So beautiful. I have birds. It breaks my heart to see them in cages. I try to keep them as happy as I can. I hope that one day birds won't be in captivity any more.
birds are not supposed to be kept in cages during the day. that's abusive
they are for nature not for cages
Brilliant to see. How did they get on?
Going well. Tracking over to Mexico and back into Guatemala. 5 of the birds are wearing GPS tracking collars. The release site was chosen for small populations of scarlet macaws in Guatemala as well as Mexico. The overall population in the wild for Guatemala, Mexico and Belize is estimated to be 300-400 birds. They are critically endangered. This is a subspecies of scarlets only found in G, M and B in the Mayan Biosphere. They are larger birds than the other scarlet macaws of other countries.
Cecile Lyons Thank you so much for the update! Is there anywhere I can go to learn more about how they're doing?
Monterys Velaryon
Good job.. :)
Their habitat is being undermined in many of their Native habitats. There are various places that have populations where they don't belong. Kona in Hawaii has a couple of flocks of green parrots, The Iolani Palace in Honolulu and Washington Square have some, too. San Francisco has "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" & from time to time I have spotted a few in the East Bay
Regional Parks.
Wonderful! .. :)
Fly for freedom
Sucedió la liberación de estas bellísimas Guacamayas en GUATEMALA?
Did the release of these beautiful Macaws happen in GUATEMALA or where?... Can I find it in Spanish? Please inform
this was tried with amazons in arizona i think.. the furthest range for that particular amazon. it ended poorly for the birds and was promptly stopped.
releasing birds should only be attempted by certified wildlife specialists. a lot of work goes into a release. but then again, macaw parents kick their fledglings out of the nest as soon as they can fly. they do not teach fledglings to fly or find food. as a result many are found starving or they die. mother nature is very cruel. that being said, tons of birds in the US have escaped and learned to live in the wild and have even formed colonies and large flocks in some areas. in the northern states during the winter they have to be provided with heated tree huts and food and water, but there are people who do that for the pet bird escapees.
@@jmdenison Not true. Macaws feed their young for 6 mths post fledging. The young stay with parents until 10 mths before fully independent.. Strong bonding world.
@@cecilelyons7178 macaws fledge at 3 months, whether the parents choose to continue to feed them is up to the parents, but many birds will regurgitate when they are around other birds they like, child or not. seems to be a friend and mate thing as well as sustenance for the young many macaw owners report regurgitation into their mouths (yuk) or they try to do it when their pet bird is being friendly. the 3 months would be a necessity thing, continuing regurgitation is a friend and child thing.
@@jmdenison This is not a video from the ''avicultural world'' of bird breeding for the pet trade''. The avicultural world seems to the basis for your knowledge. This is a scientific research based release of birds born to be wild, raised without human imprint by their parents ( who are unreleasable birds seized by Guatemalan govt, wildlife police, natural resources dept that have been damaged due to illegal captivity), The macaw progeny are monitored by veterinarians/biologists and born to be free in a reintroduction program of wild release to support declining wild populations in Guatemala to prevent the threat of extinction of species. These macaws are Ara macao cyanoptera and are critically endangered in Guatemala, Mexico and Belize. Their ancestral jungle home is the Mayan Biosphere Reserve which incorporates the above countries. FYI in the wild ( not the pet trade) macaw chicks fledge at 15 wks and remain with their parents being fed and when a bit older being shown how to feed wild for 6 mths. These birds at the program in Guatemala have that life. Stay with their parents until 10 mths and then moved into large flight aviaries to continue on going rehabilitation where the focus is to provide wild living skills including stamina/strength flying capacity long distance travel for eventual release to the wild when close to sexual maturity. When released the birds wear GPS tracking collars monitored by 5 satellites. The collars will drop off after 1 yr. It provides very important information in terms of survival in the wild as well as the raising of the birds to be able to survive and integrate successfully with wild populations. Don't support the pet trade. It is contributing to loss of species in the wild.
bravo
Huge thumbs up.
Naturally.
Good job iam happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🙏
Masha allah😍😍😍😍😍😍
I want 1 please I will not keep them in cage I will keep it in my house without cage
Are they rehabilitated
Its a good
If their being released take those damn rings off their legs, it's not necessary to keep them
Hi......Wearing rings for identification purposes. It says....GUA + no. It means bred in Guatemala as part of captive breeding program for wild release to support existing wild populations that are critically endangered. Release site close to the Mexico border in the wild corridor of scarlet macaws. If a bird is found dead in Mexico it can be identified and the scientific team notified. The macaws are also wearing GPS tracking collars to monitor reintegration to the wild and these will drop off in 12 mths. Birds bred ARCAS....premier centre of rescue/rehab/wild return from seized birds by govt/wildlife police. Parent birds damaged and unable to be returned to the wild. All progeny raised wild and to be free. Conservation program. Follow work of ARCAS on fb.
❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful! But they were released in Copan Ruinas, Honduras ❤️
They were released in Guatemala at Sierra del Lacandon National Park......home to wild scarlet macaws in Guatemala and about 6 kms from the Mexico border. Released over the canopy of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve and the Usamacinta River which forges into Mexico and it's wild scarlet macaw population.
Top 10 the saddest videos ever
This isn’t sad. This is beautiful
They are captive and they will not survive in the wild
Good
.
You are God you are legend my god
MADAME OVID WE FROM PARIS WE HAS FOODS PLEINY
Hi
i think this is fake because when one of them flew out there was like a clear string on top of it but idk
Those things must be GPS trackers I guess
@@louisedanile5881 Yes. GPS tracking collars. Birds bred under a scientific program for reintroduction to support existing wild populations under threat. Critically endangered species. This is 1st release of birds from captive breeding program in 2015....9 birds. 2nd release 2018....13 birds. More birds in 2021. Birds going well.
This is awesome but I'm just curious if they know how to survive on their own
Hi Scott. I can tell you the history of these birds.I was at the release of them. I am in the video....momentarily...blond hair. Raised wild and bred to be free. This is ARCAS....premier centre of rescue/rehab/wild return for illegally trafficked wildlife in Guatemala. At the centre is a captive breeding program for critically endangered scarlet macaw. Scarlets are protected, the parent birds are seized by govt/wildlife police. Many of them are damaged, unreleasable. Housed in big aviaries and able to chose their own partners. Bonded pairs are housed in their own large aviaries. Birds breed stress free and raise their young on their own. All aviaries are in a forest setting so birds can see and communicate with others as well as hear wildlife they would live with in the jungles. Natural world as possible. Only removed from parents if baby not doing well. Young stay with parents until independent....10 mths and then removed to big flight aviary. Raised with wild food, enrichment to build wild skills, minimal human involvement except for feeding/cleaning/health checks and watching over. Final aviary to prepare for release in the jungle...40m/treed. Release at subadult/sexual maturity....best chance for survival. GPS collar to track for integration with wild population. Released in rain forest corridor of known wild scarlet population. All on release part of scientific/research program. Crying man....Dr Fernando Martinez, research vet, head of breeding program, director of ARCAS. 9 birds released 2015. 13 more in 2018. This clip is part of doco made about work of ARCAS by BBC Natural World series. Released 2016 USA/UK, Europe 2017. Doco called Jungle Animal Hospital . Can see a bit more on RUclips under that title. Follow ARCAS on fb.
Every captive bird should be relaesed & ban to make them pets
Nauman Ijaz No, not every captive bred bird should be released in the wild, especially if it's not their natural habitat. For example, if you have a macaw for like 30 years ever since it was born, they'll have no idea how to find food and water into the wild because they've been relying on humans their whole life. So, they'll die of thirst or hunger after a few days. That's why people are so worried when their bird flies away, because they'll know they'll die if nobody finds them.
Then everyone who makes a stupid rash comment like this should be banned from the internet
you can't because many pet birds have defects which make them unsuitable for release. they may be pluckers or they are missing an eye, a wing or a toe. they might have arthritis in their wings or neurological issues. these make great pets but they cannot be released. also some just don't fly. flying is a lot of work and some birds just refuse. kind of like the couch potato human who never exercises no matter what you tell him. some birds, even if they fly are flight dummies and run into things all the time and land like a penguin. those are also unsuitable for release. in the wild, all of these would just die.
Nauman ljaz....releasing former captive birds is not a viable option for them. The birds are unable to take their place back in the wild and need sanctuaries. Life in natural aviaries and with others of their own kind. Change mindset that birds are ''pets''. Say all birds are wild life and belong in the natural world and not in the homes of humans.

Good job,but a bird born and grow as a domestic pet cant survive in wild
birds do not have domesticated dna. they are always wild, even if you keep them as a pet. as a pet, a macaw can live 60 to 80 years + with regular vet care to trim the beak and nails. in the wild, a bird will live about 30 years.
I long for one, since I have no friend
well, be sure to read up a ton of information first, watch about 100 hours of youtube on owning an exotic pet bird and then go check out a reliable breeder or bird store or bird show or sanctuary. they're not like owning a normal cat or dog pet, but they are the 3rd most popular pet in the US.
@@jmdenison what?
These beautiful creatures should never be kept as pets.
It's been shown that captive birds usually liver longer than those in the wild. There are some beautiful, mutually beneficial bird/owner relationships. My bird calls me Mama and knows I am always there for him. He loves me unconditionally and love him the same.
Most conservationists who focus on parrots disagree with this line of thinking.
That's right..... conservationists don't agree with myths and fantasies of 'bird owners.' Avian wildlife science and research involving biologists, ecologists, veterinarians, genetists all know the world parrot population is declining and facing a continued threat of 'pet trade' which is involving illegal trade in wildlife.
Apparently you got the exact opposite message than intended.....
Most (though not all) trade in live parrots involve birds born in captivity: it's not actually legal in most circumstances to import wild parrots and in the US even illegal trafficking doesn't happen often.
Can't remember the title but I once read a book that went into both sides of the argument. I recommend you read it.
If the birds are bred in captivity, I think it is completely fine to have them as pets.
ALLAH help you bro
My soul mates are Scarlet Macaws.
