Green Winged Macaws

“The green-winged macaw, the largest of the genus Ara, is a striking red bird. Moreover, it inhabits forests and woodlands of northern and central South America. Sadly, its population has declined in recent years. This decline is due to habitat destruction and illegal trapping for the pet trade.”

The green-winged macaw typically forms lifelong bonds, showcasing monogamous behavior. During breeding season, the female lays two to three eggs within a tree cavity nest. Following an incubation period of around 28 days, the chicks emerge from the nest approximately 90 days after hatching.

The green-wing macaw, or red-and-green macaw, is vibrant and captivating, highly sought in the pet market. Their striking plumage affects pricing, influenced by age, health, lineage, and breeder reputation. Younger, hand-raised, well-socialized birds are pricier. Costs continue with cage, diet, vet care, and mental stimulation.
