Does anyone else think this animal is extinct?

I still hold out hope that the Thylacine is out there somewhere. Tasmania is not a small island, and much of it is forest
If I remember correctly there's also some Island that belongs to Australia where multiple Animals were imported to and Rumors suggest that one of the imported Species was the Thylacine. Don't remember the Name of the Island though, so I would need to find the Documentary or whatever again
 
@DarthQuell, @Urufu1997, @DragonNTiger & @CeylaMin. I have some good news & some bad news.

The good news is that I managed to enhance all 3 Wikipedia pictures of the Glaucous Macaw & on the last one, we can clearly see that the tear shape is white. So now we know what the colour of the tear shape is.

The bad news is that the yellow bit on the mandible looks similar to the Lear's Macaw one. Could this be our only chance at getting it right? Who knows it may still be out there?
Not on every Individual though as I've already expected. Just looked up Pictures of Museum Specimen and at least one of them has one that is a way darker yellow than on that Illustration

King Island, Flinders Island or Deal Island?
Just go to google maps & once you find the island, take a screenshot & show us.
 
Thanks. Also the eye. Do any other Anodorhynchus have an eye similar to that one?
Not sure. It can be quite hard to properly see the Eye Color of a Bird and of course you can't just shine a Light directly into the Eye. Those are most likely Fake Eyes, probably Glass. I assume real Eyes would just weirdly shrivel up or something similar if you would try to conserve them to keep them for Taxidermy
 
Look at the 2 images here. The yellow bit on the mandible looks the same.

On Wikipedia, it said that the Glaucous Macaw & the Lear's Macaw measure the same. Could some of the Lear's Macaws in the world be mistaken for what they are (if that even makes sense.)?

Wait? Isn't the Glaucous Macaw a bit smaller? I think they've probably accidentally wrote false Information there
Edit: it's 2-5cm smaller, so not much

The reason I asked if the people who went on the expeditions for the Glaucous Macaw were looking in the wrong place is because I found the geographical range of the Glaucous. Are all of you sure they didn't check everywhere?

Half the photos in here are just photoshops or of Lear's.... And that range map is just a blank map with four countries coloured in. Come on now... 🤦‍♀️ It's almost certainly extinct.

There is no proof. Are you not forgetting if we do some genetic testing on some Lear's Macaws that look like Glaucous Macaws & see what is the output is?
