Military macaws










Military macaws are among the largest parrots. These lively, boisterous birds are often overlooked as plain-colored compared to the more brilliantly colored macaws. But, as with other macaws, military macaws are very intelligent and relatively easy to train. They are a favorite for shows and trick training. Military macaws are mostly green with a bright red frontal patch. Though similar to Buffon's macaws(see below), military macaws are a bit smaller and have a darker forest green color. The naked facial skin, which blushes when the macaw is excited, is white with black feather lines.
