Jurong houses all extant macaw species except Illiger's and Northern red-shouldered macaws (and the Buffon's are currently off show).

Nice! This is the only species that I lack in the genus (in my photo collection)

@Kakapo Red-Bellied Macaw is the only member of its genus so I'd imagine it would be the only one you're missing

I mean that Ara manilata is the only (living) species of the genus Ara that I still miss. In fact, also the only living macaw that I still miss, since I have the 3 species of the other two macaw genus.

I only need Spix's, Lear's, Golden-Collared, and the above species to complete the set of extant macaws

Then go to Pairi Daiza and you will get the two rarest of the four species! I was lucky to have cared for a pair of golden-collared in private aviculture

Or much better, go to Jurong bird park, since the above comment mentions that the species that they miss are ones that you already have

@Kakapo GIve you imply above that you do not recognise Orthopsittaca, but also mention "the other two" macaw genera, I'm curious which other two you do recognise?

@ThylacineAlive I have Golden-collared, but require the other three.

@Kakapo I have tentative plans to get to Belgium in the next couple of years but I do not know if or when it will happen. I have other smaller trips to plan it around. Singapore is unlikely to be visited for at least five years but it is still high on my list.

@TeaLovingDave The other two macaw genera (not Ara) are Cyanopsitta and Anodorhynchus.
