Scarlet Macaw

The Scarlet Macaw has predominantly scarlet plumage, with broad yellow areas on the wings and blue flight feathers; adult males and females are alike in coloration. Yellow upperwing coverts contrast with blue outer wings, while the breast and back are red and the long, graduated tail combines red feathers with blue tips. Extensive white bare facial skin surrounds each eye, contrasting with the red feathered crown and the large, mostly ivory upper bill.
