The Green wing differs in appearance from the similar Scarlet Macaw by the band of green feathers across its back. On the Scarlet there will be a broad band of yellow feathers across the back.
In the wild Green-winged Macaws are usually seen in pairs, family groups of three, or small group of up to a dozen. They are rarely seen alone. They are a social bird and enjoy the company of their flock or of a mate as well.
They are a very gentle bird that will get along with more than one person. But they are a typical macaw and can be cranky at times and may prefer only one person or only one gender.
