Terry Thompson comforts Bob, a blue gold macaw, after Bob was retrieved from a tree Friday in Jamestown. Aaron Miller of Jerry's Tree Service assisted with the rescue using a bucket truck. The tree line along one Jamestown avenue had an unusual visitor Friday when a family’s exotic bird escaped to greater heights. Bob, a 16-year-old blue gold macaw parrot, spent the better part of Thursday night and part of Friday morning perched and squawking high in a tree along the 700 block of Third Avenue Northeast.

Scarlet Macaw Parrots in The NetherlandsAbstract: Poaching for the pet bird trade is one of the main threats to wild parrots. Parrots in urban areas might be exempt from poaching because nests are likely inaccessible in the urban mosaic of public and private lands where the public and authorities keep more effective vigilance than in natural habitats. We report on the demographics and fate of a small population of exotic Scarlet Macaws (Ara macao) introduced into the urban area of Haarlem in The Netherlands in the 1970’s, which has a temperate, maritime climate, quite unlike the natural breeding area of the species. One breeding pair was reported, with successful breeding attempts in at least eight years between 1980 and 2009. A series of poaching events between 2005 and 2009 likely lead to the demise of the local nesting population of Scarlet Macaws.
