Glaucous Macaw

Anodorhynchus glaucus (Vieillot, LJP 1816)

The glaucous macaw is a large, blue and grey South American parrot, a member of a large group of neotropical parrots known as macaws. This macaw, believed to be extinct, is closely related to Lear's macaw A.leari and the hyacinth macaw A. hyacinthinus. In Guaraní, it is called guaa-obi after its vocalizations. Source: Wikipedia
