Animal of the Day!

Cuban Macaw (Ara tricolor)

(Painting by Jacques Barraband)

Extinction Date- 1864

Habitat- Cuba

Size (Weight/Length)- 50 cm long

Diet- Seeds; Fruits

Cool Facts- The Cuban macaw was widespread throughout Cuba but, unfortunately, little is known about their behavior. They were thought to have nested in hollow trees and live in small flocks. They most likely ate hard seeds, like palm nuts, and tough fruits, crushing them with their beak. Cuban macaws were originally hunted for their feathers and meat by native peoples but when Europeans arrived in the 15th century, they were prized cagebirds. The macaws were captured alive and shipped off to Europe to be sold as a pet. A massive hurricane was the nail in the coffin and the rest of the macaws were wiped out. Scarlet macaws remain as the Cuban macaw’s closest relative. While scarlet macaws are considered least concern, they are still threatened by the pet trade and hunting in a similar manner to the Cuban macaw. Conservation efforts to prevent illegal poaching for both dead and alive macaws is in effect throughout their native range.

Rating- 11/10 (One of the smallest macaws and one of the most brilliantly colored.)

[ID: Digital artwork mostly featuring invertebrate-themed characters. The 1st is a reference of a snail-based oc, with snails acting as their limbs and body shape resembling a kangaroo. They're shown twice, one variation based on green garden snails and one on cuban painted snails, and they're posing enthusiastically over a swirly background. Next image has several drawings compiled, including (from left to right): A headshot of the artist from a side profile, wearing a tie and grey flatcap while spider webs spread from him and connect him to different facets of his identity, a sketch of a cicada wing, a fullbody of Apollo Justice from the Ace Attorney series, a sketch of an ant, and simplified designs for an Emperor Moth, Mole Cricket, and Red Rhino Beetle.
