Synopsis
SPIX'S MACAW examines the slow and publicized extinction of the titular bird, which vanished from the planet forever on December 1, 2000, in Brazil. Known as "the world's loneliest bird," the Spix's macaw serves an example, Juniper writes, of what gets lost when human obsession and greed for the exotic and rare drives us past reason.

Publisher's Note
Describes the desperate race against time to save a rare blue parrot, the Spix's Macaw, from extinction, by calling for private collectors to allow their birds to mate with the last wild specimen, a bird that had lived for years without a mate, in a dramatic story of the humans who had brought the species to the brink of annihilation.

Industry Reviews
"Juniper is a gifted storyteller and in order to press home his powerful emotional message about the destructive impact of our obsession, he takes us on a long, slow, meticulously assembled journey from the leafy suburbs of central European cities, where wealthy collectors will do almost anything - including lie, steal and cheat - to lay their hands on parrots."
Guardian (London) - Mark Cocker (09/07/2002)
