Green-winged macaws are often mistaken for scarlet macaws; the green wing has facial feathers and green on its wing feathers instead of yellow. Green wings are heavier than blue-and-gold macaws and scarlet macaws. Green wings get along with most other macaws their size, so keeping two macaws together is fine, but don’t allow birds of different species to breed.
