Bird Watching Tours in, and around, Puerto Vallarta

BIRDS OF TROPICAL PARADISE

Puerto Vallarta is considered to be a paradise by the locals as well as by those who visit.
The area surrounding the BahÌa de Banderas can only be described as a natural outdoor concert hall. Over 350 different species of birds either migrate to or reside in this area.
This is also the home of the Military Macaws (Ara militaris) and they may be seen; resting in a tree or flying in pairs, and their strident unique voice will certainly attract your attention. The Military Macaw, is a beautiful bird, his coloring is predominantly green with hues ranging from olive to emerald green. Tail feathers are a mixture of sky blue, burgundy, and streaks of green.
This highly endangered species is facing extinction due to loss of habitat and mainly since hatchlings are widely extirpated by poachers to be sold as pets.

Despite the fact that Macaws are under protection by Mexican and International laws the black market poaches around 200 chicks per year from their nests, although 80% of them die during this process and 10 % more die after the process of extraction.
Unless strong measures are not taken immediately, this species will be disappearing from the wild within the next 20 or 30 years. In order to avoid this happening a multitasked group of people got together and formed a group called MACAWS FOREVER, GUACAMAYAS POR SIEMPRE A. C.
Started since 2007 this conservation group has already achieved great recognition for meeting their goals and established several strategies for trying to overcome the extinction process for this bird.

Although the challenges are enormous and sometimes it seems that all the efforts will not be enough.
