  1. The Green Wing Macaw - Shy Bird

  2. If you’re thinking of getting the Green wing Macaw for a pet, then you should know all about the green wing macaw first. • It is commonly known as the "Red-and-green Macaw". It is second in size to that of the Hyacinth Macaw. • It has vivid red breast and the lower part of the feathers in the wing area are green. • Its glittering teal is surrounded by red feathers. • Another physical description for this bird is that it has distinct red lines around the eyes which are formed by rows of small feathers. • To name a few of their habitats, these are usually found in Venezuela, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname, Guyana, Peru, French Guiana, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia.

  3. These macaws are mostly seen in mangrove swamps, savannas and tropical forests. • Talking about size, full sized Green-winged macaw lengths up to 90cm (35.5in) on average and with wingspans averaging approximately 102-122.5cm (41-49in). • The weight may approximately land at 1250-1700g (43.8-59.5oz or 2.75-3.75lbs). • Another interesting fact about this macaw is that it can live 60 years or longer which is up to 80 years. • The green wing macaw has a sensitive, affectionate and responsive disposition despite its characteristic as a shy bird. • This bird is exceptionally interactive both with people and other parrots.

  4. They are normally seen in pairs or in groups of same family and they rarely gather in small flocks of six to twelve birds. • In the wild, the breeding season for the green-winged macaw starts in October and November specifically in the southern part of their range. • The female normally lays three or four eggs and incubates the eggs for about 29days. • About 95 days or three months after hatching, the chicks would then have their feathers and wing muscles ready for flight. • The Green Wing Macaw is intelligent and eager for attention and play. It adapts quickly and once it becomes accustomed to a new environment and its keeper, be ready for a pet whom you would call "a great companion" for a lifetime.

  5. Eat more protein – • Protein is a huge source of energy. • Add proteins to your daily diet plan. • It can reduce appetite and cut your cravings by 60%. It also increases the amount of calories you burn. • A high protein diet can increase your calories burned up to 80 to 100 calories per day.
