British zoo sends 6 endangered macaws to Bolivia

In this March 2013 photo released by the Noel Kempff Mercado Foundation, macaws perch on trunks inside a caged breeding center in the Amazon near the city of Trinidad, in the state of Beni, Bolivia. These birds are of the six endangered macaws flown from Britain to Bolivia in hopes that they can help save a species devastated by the trade in wild animals, international conservation experts said Tuesday, March 13, 2013. The birds, with blue wings and a yellow breast, arrived last week at the conservation center in northeastern Bolivia, close to their natural habitat, and the local Noel Kempff Foundation said it hopes to breed or release them.
