Headline: Critically Endangered Red-Fronted Macaw Chick Hatches At Edinburgh Zoo

Caption: A critically endangered red-fronted macaw has hatched at Edinburgh Zoo. It’s the first to be born at the zoo for 20 years. Now three months old, the bird has fledged the nest and can be spotted by visitors in the aviary. There are believed to be less than 800 red-fronted macaws in existence, with the wild population declining due to habitat loss making this new arrival an important ambassador for the species.
