Bird Endowment -- Saving Blue-throated Macaws at The Blues Conservatory

About Elmore James and Koko Taylor

Elmore James and Koko Taylor are the newest pair of Blue Throated macaws at The Blues Conservatory.

As members of the flock environment, they were constant companions from the time he moved into the habitat.

Koko Taylor Blues hatched on Sept. 3, 2002, under the rehab regime in place for Founder Pair 2. They raised her until she joined the flock in the summer of 2003.

Elmore hatched in June, 2004 and was allowed by aviculturist Wendy Craig to be reared by his wild-caught parents at her aviary in Texas.
