About
The red-and-green macaw, also known as the green-winged macaw, is a large, mostly-red macaw of the genus Ara. It is popular in aviculture, and is the second most commonly kept macaw species after the blue-and-yellow. However, they are not as common in captivity as the blue-and-yellow macaw, and are much more expensive; prices are often double that of the blue-and-gold.
Fun Fact
This is the largest of the genus Ara, widespread in the forests and woodlands of northern and central South America.
