Green-winged Macaws grow approximately 3 feet long weighing 3.5 pounds. They live for 70-90 years. Green-wings are mostly red, with blue and green wings, blue tail and gray legs very similar to Scarlet Macaws. Somewhat shy birds possessing sharp hearing and eyesight, they are difficult to spot in native Central/South American forests. In pairs or small groups, they eat nuts, fruit, berries, seeds and some toxic plants neutralized by ingested river clay. Excellent talkers, they rarely mimic.
