Gold cousins, but as babies they enjoy a much
higher activity level. They are usually more
affectionate, and do require a large amount of time
like the other macaws. Most people agree that these
macaws are very demanding of attention and space,
so they definitely aren't for everyone.

Interesting
Facts:
Though often mistaken for Scarlet Macaws, the
Green-Winged macaws are very different both
physically and mentally. They have no yellow on
their wings and very prominent facial stripes. They
are also quite a bit larger. They are not as prone
to aggression as the Scarlets, however they still
need to be handled correctly to prevent any
unwanted behavior.
