The blue-throated macaw (Ara glaucogularis), also known as the Caninde macaw or Wagler's macaw,[3] is a macaw endemic to a small area of north-central Bolivia, known as Los Llanos de Moxos. In 2014 this species was designated by law as a natural patrimony of Bolivia.[4] Until 2010, it was hunted by native people to make feathered "Moxeño" headdresses for "machetero" ritual dances.[5]
