Don’t miss this opportunity! Book now and live the unique experience that the Tambopata National Reserve has to offer. The jungle awaits you with open arms.

What is “collpeo”?

“Collpeo” consists of these birds ingesting clay from the ravine. Although sometimes you can see groups of macaws at other times of the day, generally these encounters are less frequent and the groups are smaller.

Why is it so special?

This behavior of the birds is one of the most fascinating natural spectacles you can witness. It is believed that the clay contains essential salts and minerals that are fundamental in the diet of the birds. In addition, the small particles of clay help detoxify their diet, which is mostly made up of fruits.

Don’t miss it

Visiting the macaw clay lick is not only an opportunity to observe these majestic birds in action, but also to connect with nature and appreciate one of the most unique phenomena in the jungle. Get ready to live an unforgettable experience in this magical corner of the world

The Amazon of Peru called Tambopata Expedition is the place of thousands of species that inhabit as the best known

birds the Macaw that is in extinction in South America, they found their place to live and many creatures share this nature tambopata  paradise area that is highly protected tambopata. 

Tambopata Expedition Reserve  Methods .

Clay lick use data was collected from February 2000 to November 2002. Observers arrived before sunrise and recorded the number of birds on the lick every 5 minutes. On 606 mornings the observers remained until the early  morning rush of activity ended (7:00– 7:30 AM), while on 280 days the observers remained until the late afternoon (4:30 PM or later) amazon expeditions.

Additional data from 2003 have been collected and are  currently being processed. Over 1000 bird censuses were conducted in the afternoons from January – December 2003 in the areas surrounding TRC. Censuses lasted 10  minutes each and were conducted at 20 different points in  the forest expeditions.

They were conducted in the afternoon at the time of minimum lick use so that birds moving to and from the clay lick would not unduly influence the counts of  birds in the forest. Scarlet macaw nests and  chick growth were monitored in the forests around 

Expedition reserve – Research Center

from November 1999 to March 2003. In total 26 nests were monitored and 24 chicks weighed and measured from hatching to fledging.

Crop samples were taken from Scarlet Macaw chicks from December 2003 – February 2004 following the protocol outlined by (Enkerlin-Hoeflich et al. 1999).  A total of 29 samples were taken from chicks ranging in age  from 20 to 80 days. Results and Discussion  and I recorded 16 species of parrots, two guans and three pigeons on the clay lick during data collection, including: 

Green-winged, Scarlet, Blue and gold, Severe, Red-bellied and Blue- headed Macaws; Mealy, Yellow-crowned, Orange-cheeked (Barraband’s) Parrots; Blue-headed Pionus; White-bellied Caique; White-eyed and Dusky Conures; Amazonian and Dusky-billed Parrotlet; and Cobalt-winged Parakeet.

This includes ALL the common parrot species at the site. On some days over 1,300 parrots were seen arriving at in the area of the lick. In total we logged over 300,000 records of parrots using the lick making this one of the world’s largest data sets on wild parrots.

Tambopata expedition Rainforest .

Lick use showed two marked seasons: a high season from August through January and a low season from February through July. These seasons did not match up with the changes from wet season to dry season.

Instead I found that the birds’ lick use closely paralleled the abundance of birds in the forest recorded during the afternoon parrot censuses. In fact it looks like low lick use season may be due in part to the fact that many of the parrots  “migrate” away from the area nature rainforest expeditions.

The reason why the birds leave is unknown, but data from nearby Manu National Park suggest that the period of low lick use and parrot migration away from the area  corresponds with a period of very low fruit availability  (Terborgh 1983). This suggests that the birds may be leaving the area due to a general lack of food. To date I do not know where the parrots go upon departure.The high

season of lick use

is apparently due to a mixture of factors.  The birds return to the area probably due to an increase in the food supply or in anticipation of breeding or both. However there are marked differences among  species in their peak month of lick use:

Blue-headed Pionus (Pionus  menstruus) peak in July while the three large macaws peak in January. Ten of the twelve species for which we have breeding data show their strongest peak in  lick use during the breeding season. This suggests that  some physiological need during the breeding season is driving the birds to increase their consumption of soil.

I have two hypotheses for the association between lick use  and breeding that I will discuss here tambopata:

Macaw Clay Lick Center – Tambopata Expedition

1. Clay lick use increases during breeding because females need additional calcium to make the eggs.
2. Clay lick use increased during breeding because the adults need to feed clay to the chicks.The data on the timing  of breeding and clay lick use by Scarlet Macaws shows that the peak in lick use does not occur in November at the time of egg laying, thus making it unlikely that the birds are using the lick as a source of calcium. Instead lick use spikes in .

December just as the chicks hatch. However, lick use drops in February about one month before the majority of the chicks fledge. This suggests that the annual peak lick use by ,Scarlet Macaws is due in part to the parents’ need to feed clay to young chicks.

This finding is corroborated by the food samples taken from the crops of chicks: chicks from 20 to 30 days old had soil in seven of eight samples collected while only one of eight samples collected from chicks over 50 days contained soil.

The reason why chicks

need more soil during the first few weeks of life is unclear, but may be due to nutrient needs or low resistance to toxicity. Chick growth data collected from Tambopata show that chicks grow very quickly  when young and that their weight reaches that of adults (about 900 grams) by approximately 50 days of age.

This suggests that the greatest nutritional needs of the chick are during these first 50 days. At all ages the parents arenature tambopata. feeding the chicks a mix of seeds that probably contain  reasonable quantities of toxins. While adult macaws and parrots have a very high resistance to toxins (as much as 50 times higher than adult humans for quinine, (Gilardi et al. 1999), the young chicks may have very low resistance to toxins. If chicks develop their natural resistance to toxins with age, this too could produce a pattern of lick use similar to that found here. The resolution of this dilemma awaits further detailed studies in this area tambopata.

Flora and fauna Tambopata Expedition

In summary, clay lick use in southeastern Peru is highly seasonal. Most species show simultaneous annual lows in lick use during the end of the wet season and beginning of the dry season (April – June). At this time the birds  apparently leave the area possibly in response to low food supplies in the area nature expeditions. Annual highs in lick use occur between July and February and differ among species. The peaks in lick use for most species studied coincide with breeding.

In particular it seems that adults are feeding clay to their young chicks during the period of maximum growth and perhaps lowest resistance to natural toxins found in their diet.
