Distribution and Habitat
Venezuela south to Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It extends slightly into Central America, where it is restricted to Panama. The species range formerly included Trinidad, but it was extinct there by 1970 as a result of anthropomorphic activities. Between 1999 and 2003, wild caught Blue-and-Gold macaws were translocated from Guyana to Trinidad, in an attempt to reestablish it in a protected area around Nariva swamp.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
