English to Portuguese: The Hyacinth Macaw
Source text - English The Hyacinth Macaw can be found in central and eastern South America. It loves the palm swamps and the woodlands. It does not like the humid forest. It is a very sociable and intelligent parrot. That is why it is a dream for all bird lovers to have a Hyacinth Macaw. Unfortunately, because it is in such high demand, its population is severely threatened.
It is the biggest macaw and the biggest flying parrot species in the world. In terms of length, it is larger than any other species of parrot. Their population is decreasing because of the pet trade and habitat loss.
The Hyacinth Macaw is 100cm (40 inches) long from the tip of its tail to the top of its head. It weighs about 1.2 to 1.7 kilogram (2.6 – 3.7lb). Its feathers are lighter blue above and darker on its wings, and it has a large black curved beak. It has bright yellow skin at the base of its lower beak and yellow skin around its eyes. Males and females look alike.
the Hyacinth Macaw is the world's longest parrot
It has a very strong beak for eating. This beak can even break apart a welded wrought iron bar of a bird cage! It feeds on the kernels of hard nuts and seeds. Its strong beak is able to crack coconuts, large Brazil nut pods and macadamia nuts. Apart from that, they eat fruits and other vegetables too. It loves to eat pine nuts.
It builds its nest in holes in trees. The mother lays one or two eggs. Young Hyacinth Macaws stay with their mum and dad until they are 3 months old. It has very low reproductive rate. It does not necessarily breed every year. Corvids, possums, coatis and toucans eat the eggs. Fortunately, the adults have no predators except for people. The Hyacinth Macaw is an endangered parrot species. The Hyacinth Macaw Project has been launched to protect these amazingly beautiful parrots from extinction.
Translation - Portuguese A Arara Azul pode ser encontrada nas Américas central e sul. Elas adoram os pântanos e florestas mas, não gostam de florestas úmidas. Elas são bem sociáveis e inteligentes, por isso, para os amantes das aves, é um sonho ter uma Arara. Infelizmente, por causa da alta demanda, a sua população é severamente ameaçada.
Ela é a maior arara e a maior espécie de Psitaciforme no mundo. Em termos de comprimento, essa é a maior ave das espécies dos psitaciformes. Sua população vem diminuindo devido ao comércio ilegal e do desmatamento do seu habitat.
A Arara Azul tem 100 cm (40 polegadas) de altura, medida da ponta da sua calda até o topo da sua cabeça. Pesa em torno de 1.2 a 1.7 quilos (2.6 a 3.7 libras). Suas penas são azul-claro em cima, escuro nas asas e tem um bico largo, curvado e preto. A pele em baixo do seu bico inferior e ao redor dos seus olhos são amarelo ouro. Fêmeas e macho são parecidos.
A Arara azul é a maior arara do mundo.
Elas têm um bico bem forte para comer. O bico pode até quebrar uma barra de ferro soldada de uma gaiola. Se alimentam do miolo e das sementes das nozes, amêndoas, avelãs e castanhas. Seu bico resistente é capaz de quebrar cocos, casca da castanha do Pará e macadâmia. Além disso, elas comem frutas e outros vegetais também. Elas amam comer pinhões.
Elas constroem seus ninhos em buracos nas árvores. A mãe põe um ou dois ovos. A arara azul jovem fica com sua mãe e pai até seus três meses. Tem uma taxa de reprodução bem baixa e não se reproduzem necessariamente a cada ano. Os corvos, gambás, quatis e tucanos comem seus ovos. Felizmente, as araras adultas só têm os humanos como predadores. A Arara azul é uma espécie de arara ameaçada de extinção. O projeto Arara Azul foi lançado para proteger esse belíssimo tipo de pássaro da extinção.
