Qatar efforts give hope to rare parrot species 

Daniel Neumann performing artificial insemination in a Spix’s macaw at AWWP.Pioneering efforts by Qatar’s Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation to conserve the extinct-in-the-wild Spix’s macaw have achieved a key milestone with the world’s first artificial insemination in the parrot species native to Brazil, under a partnership with a German firm.

Founded by Sheikh Saoud bin Mohamed bin Ali al-Thani, AWWP, which has been a champion in Spix’s macaw conservation for over a decade, holds over 77% (64 out of 83) of the world population of the bird and is actively involved in grassroots conservation in its home country.Given that a narrow genetic pool is one of the biggest problems for the worldwide breeding programme, as it causes suboptimal fertility in the population, researchers from AWWP together with Parrot Reproduction Consulting from Germany decided to help the species through artificial insemination.

Vet first to artificially inseminate a kakapo 

Dr Juan Blanco Having become the first person to artificially inseminate a kakapo, Dr Juan Blanco believes our native parrot has been well looked after by Kiwis humans that is.

The Spanish vet has just spent 17 days on Whenua Hou/Codfish Island helping the Conservation Department with kakapo breeding.

Last month, Dr Blanco artificially inseminated a kakapo, making him the first person to successfully perform the procedure on a wild endemic, endangered bird.

Dr Blanco said the purpose was to ensure genetic diversity among kakapo on the island, where only two male birds were the dominant breeders.

Waiting game for mating game

Sinbad, the son of the only remaining Fiordland kakapo, Richard Henry, has mated successfully this year for the first time, hopefully ensuring the continuation of the Fiordland genes. Photo: Scott Mouat.It's kakapo mating time, but as Kerrie Waterworth explains, this is not your usual tale of the birds and the bees.
