Military Macaw

Ara militaris

Description:

The military macaw is 70.5 cm (27.8 in) long on average, 99–110 (33–43 in) across the wings and weighs 900–1,100 grams (2–2.4 lbs).[2] It is mostly green in color with the head a slightly paler shade. It bears a red frontal patch, with a white bare facial area barred with narrow black lines. The flight feathers are blue and the red tail bordered with blue. The large strong beak is grey-black and the iris yellow.[3] The military macaw appears superficially similar to, and may easily be confused with the somewhat larger great green macaw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_ma...
