The reproduction of monogamous wild birds in captivity it`s difficult and the apparent low fertility in males requires more investigations. The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that wild bird species in captivity would present low reproductive potential, through the analysis of the morphological characteristics of Ara ararauna testicles, maintained in captivity, correlating them with the climate variations in the Cerrado Biome. For that, testicles were captured in April (dry) and October (rainy). The right and left testicles showed mean weight, gonadosomatic index, longer axis, and volume similar between the dry and rainy season. Only the shorter axis demonstrated higher values during the rainy season. The morphometric variables of the seminiferous tubules have also higher values during the rainy season. By these histological and morphometric characteristics of the seminiferous epithelium we can conclude that, during the rainy season, the testicles were in gonadal recrudescence, which precedes the reproduction phase. During the dry season, the testicles were in the rest phase of the seminiferous epithelium. Therefore, we concluded that the species in captivity, under Cerrado environmental conditions, have kept their reproductive potential, presenting a complete spermatogenic cycle during the rainy season, which can guarantee the species perpetuation.
