Red and Green Macaw

The Red-and-green Macaw, sometimes known as the green-winged macaw, is a big parrot belonging to the Psittaciformes family. The name of the red-and-green macaw comes from its plumage. The color of its chest, head, shoulders, and tail feathers are all vivid red. Its wings, meanwhile, are decorated with green and blue feathers. The red-and-green macaw is 35 to 37 inches long and weighs 2.3 to 3.7 pounds.

They are one of the most noticeable red birds due to their striking appearance. They can be found in the wild in Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, and Paraguay, where they are native. The green-winged macaw has a long-term relationship with its spouse. In a nest created in a hole in a tree, the female usually lays two or three eggs. The eggs are incubated for around 28 days by the female, and the young leave the nest about 90 days after hatching. The wild population of Red-and-green Macaws is in decline due to habitat destruction and illegal trafficking.
