The beautiful Greenwing is said to be the largest of the common Macaws. With its incredible coloration it is easy to see why they are so popular. The red feather trails on the face patch, and the green on the wings seem to make this bird look more like a work of art than a parrot. These birds are said to be mechanically inclined, known to take apart cages if they wish, so its best to house them in cages designed for the known escape artist. One should be prepared to provide the Greenwing with lots of exorcize and mental stimulation, a bored bird is an unhappy bird. Also, you should keep in mind that this is a cavity nester, and you will need to supply lots of chewable wood took keep that massive beak busy. Greenwings have big voices to go with their big bodies, and are known to be good talkers. Don't underestimate their screams though, they are more than capable of making their wishes known, to you and your neighbors for blocks around.  All too often these majestic birds are bought as cage ornaments, which leads to destructive violent birds. No bird should be treated that way, and the Greenwing is one of the parrots who need lots of hands on time in order to maintain a healthy relationship with their companion people.
