This type of bird, the lear blue macaw, exists only in Bahia. In the last four years, at least 50 birds have been electrocuted. This is because the bird has a long tail. In this way, the animal rests with the scrooshes on an electric wire, but ends up touching the tail on other cables, which creates an electrical discharge. Environmentalists are fighting to prevent the bird from disappearing.
They live close to 12 cities in a region of caatinga ecosystem called 'Raso da Catarina' in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil.
In this video we see the ilustration of how they are electrocuted.
Prosecutors requested from the state electricity company a solution to the problem.
