The

size, weight
Green winged Macaw (Ara chloroptera) The Green winged Macaws are very large birds. They're mostly red, except for a bare patch of white skin on the face; this is lined with small red feathers, which appear in stripes. The wings are mainly blue except for the medium wing coverts which are green. The tail feathers are a mix of blue and red, and the legs are grey. The upper mandible of the beak is a beige-white color, and the lower mandible is black, although the upper mandible is sometimes black as well. They originate from Central America to South America. They require much attention, and can talk quite well. They require large space due to their size and relative cage.
They are gentle giants but have a tendency to become aggressive or pluck if left alone for too long periods of time or neglected (as with most parrots). Although they are common in forests in parts of their range they have declined in numbers or disappeared altogether from accessible regions. Currently the status on this species is considered threatened.
