Released to audiences in 2011, Rio de Janeiro revealed the critically endangered and extinct Spix’s macaw in the wild. Their species have suffered adverse impacts due to habitat loss and illegal poaching. As of 2022, only 160 Spix’s macaws will remain in captivity. These birds are endemic to Brazil, where they inhabit a very limited natural habitat: the woodland gallery of the riparian Caraibeira. It relies on this South American native tree for nesting, foraging and roosting. They rely on tree nuts and seeds for their nutrition.

These birds are common in zoos around the world, but their home is in Central and South America. They live in semi-open habitats such as woodlands and savannas. You’ll find them in the Amazon, but only in open areas, usually along rivers. They eat fruit, insects, reptiles and small birds with their huge beaks.

The red and green macaw, also known as the green-winged macaw, is the largest of its kind. They are native to North and central South America, where they inhabit many forests and woodlands. Populations of these birds have declined due to habitat loss and illegal capture. However, they are considered the species of least concern due to reintroduction efforts. This macaw mates for life and feeds on seeds, nuts, fruit and flowers.

They spend their days wading in shallow water, poking their long beaks into muddy bottoms in search of aquatic insects, fish, and crustaceans.

The keel-billed toucan lives in the canopy of the tropical jungles of Mexico, Central America, and South America. These birds are rarely seen alone. They are very gregarious, living in groups of 6 to 12 and living together in tree hollows. Their family is playful, throwing fruit like a ball and even dueling with their beaks. They eat fruit, insects, lizards, eggs and chicks. They swallow the fruit whole by throwing their head back. This species spends most of its time in trees, jumping from branch to branch and flying only short distances.

You can also find them in heavily degraded forests. Look for them along rivers, lakes, and swamps, where they swarm the ground for seeds and insects.

IAN WARKENTIN

I am broadly interested in how human activities influence the ability of wildlife to persist in the modified environments that we create.

Specifically, my research investigates how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Both natural and human-derived fragmenting of habitat can influence where birds settle, how they access the resources they need to survive and reproduce, and these factors in turn affect population demographics. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As well I am working in collaboration with Parks Canada scientists to examine in the influence of high density moose populations on forest bird communities in Gros Morne National Park. Many of my projects are conducted in collaboration or consultation with representatives of industry and government agencies, seeking to improve the management and sustainability of natural resource extraction.
