I am the Hyacinth Macaw. I am writing to you today to tell you about myself, the role that I play in the rain forest, and why I think that you should reconsider building the Uppity Resort.
My scientific name is the Andorhynchus Hyacinthinus. I am the words largest parrot. My body can be as tall as 33 inches from beak to the tip of my tall. I have dark blue feathers down most of my body. I have yellow on the sides of my face. I have a long gray curved long beak. I have gray feathers underneath my wings and yellow around my eyes. I can have up to 2 babies. I am a herbivore. I am also at the top of the food chain.
I love to eat the nuts from the Brazilian nut tree. Along with that I eat nuts, leaves, fruits, berries, and seeds. I eat fruits and berries that are poisonous enough to kill other animals. If you cut down the rain forest that would mean that the nut, berries, fruits, and leaves that I eat will be gone. In other words that means that my food source is gone and I will begin to die out. Even though I have eaten other animals I have other relationships. In April I can be found by the dead trees and making holes so that I can give birth.
I have no natural predators that means that the other animals in the rain forest don't eat me. Even though other animals don't eat me when I grow old and die I pass my nutrients on to the rain forest for regrowth. But I can be found in Costa Rico being snatched out of their nest and being sold for $200. In the United States I can be found being sold for $4000.
If you were to cut down the rain forest and I were to go extent that would mean that would mean that the rain forest will get less nutrients. With you cutting down the rain forest and me not being their it could destroy the whole rain forest. You might not have known that it would cause this much damage but it might. So I would love for you to reconsider this.
From,
The Hyacinth Macaw
