GreenWing Macaw Information In Nevada
The Green Winged Macaw, a beautiful bird, makes a friendly pet for those who
can accommodate a large bird! They are the world's second largest Macaw! Often
called the Gentle Giant.
These birds are avid chewers and need plenty of wood, as bored Green Winged
Macaws will be destructive, chewing on their cage or anything else they can find!
They enjoy bathing and should always have fresh water. Green Winged Macaws
should be fed a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, greens, grains, nuts, seeds,
and a mineral supplement along with peanut butter or other fatty, high-protein treats
and a good quality pellet. They may be hand-reared on biscuit, porridge, and white
bread. Green Winged Macaws live nicely with other birds and form strong bonds
with their keepers.
Red and Green Macaws grow to about 26 to 37 inches in length and have a 41
to 49 inch wingspan! They have red plumage with blue back, rump, and tail
converts. The bare facial patch is crossed with red feather lines. Green Winged
Macaws have green shoulders and inner secondary and median wing coverts; the
rest of the wings are blue. Green Winged Macaws have blue edged red tail
feathers, and males may have green edged feathers at the backs of their heads. The
bill is horn colored and prominent with black edges and a black lower mandible,
and the feet are dark gray.
Native to tropical forests at 1500 and occasionally 4700 feet, the Red and Green
Macaw is also called the Maroon Macaw, the GreenWing Macaw, and the
Red and Blue Macaw. It is found in the Guyanas, Panama, Bolivia, Suriname,
Brazil, Peru, Columbia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Argentina. Though it is not listed
as threatened, the GreenWing Macaw's habitat is being destroyed and it has
disappeared in much of Panama due to trapping for trade and hunting for food.
I suggest to people when purchasing a bird to purchase the largest cage they can
afford. They have double cages now that would work great for a GreenWing
Macaw. They need to be able to open their wings to flap. I also suggest lots of toys
to keep them occupied.
