Laney Rickman Blue-throated Macaw Nestbox Program 2019-2020
For more information about sponsoring a nest box for the upcoming breeding season, please visit www.BirdEndowment.org.
Donations are welcome and provide vital long-term support for the Nido Adoptivo™ nest box program, as well as habitat conservation and reserve management to help save the Blue-throated Macaw and the vital ecosystem in which it lives.
To honor Laney Rickman’s legacy, her family, the Bird Endowment, Asociación Armonía, and American Bird Conservancy established the “Laney Rickman Blue-throated Macaw Fund” in September 2017. Dorothy (Laney’s sister) and Audrey Paterson (Laney’s niece) have been leading the fundraising efforts for this special Fund to continue Laney’s amazing work protecting the Blue-throated Macaws of Bolivia. Through the generosity and support of an incredible number of people, more than 235,000 USD has raised to date.
This Fund, managed by the American Bird Conservancy, is of critical importance to assure reserve sustainability: abcbirds.org/rickman-fund/. Disbursements of the investment income of the Fund will provide an important part of the Reserve’s annual protection costs.
See Armonia's website (armoniabolivia.org/wildlife-an..., for information on visiting Barba Azul Nature Reserve, home to the northwestern sub-population of Blue-throated Macaws and other Beni Savanna bird species, as well as Giant Anteaters, Maned Wolves, Howler Monkeys, and more.

If no human intervention is needed to save a chick that was that far behind in growth I don't think any human interventions is needed with boxes as I am sure the pairs will find other areas to nest.
Except with such habitat destruction caused by humans the large trees have been destroyed so finding a suitable tree hollow is next to impossible
Great work 👍🏻. Thanks 😊
