Macaw Severe basic information
The Chestnut Fronted Macaw is about a foot and a half in length and is crowned with a line of chestnut colored feathers across the forehead. The plumage is primarily metallic green, and the crown is blue. The shoulders are red. Severe Macaws have blue flight and tail feathers with red undersides. Their bare facial patch exhibits delicate feather lines, the chin is a dark reddish brown, and the underside of the tail is a dark chestnut color. The bill is black and the feet are dark gray. Severe Macaws have orange irises. The wingspan of Chestnut-Fronted Macaws is eight and a half to nine and a half inches. When setting up pairs, Severe Macaws must be sexed using DNA or surgical methods. Immature Severe Macaws will have blacker colored bands on the foreheads, as the chestnut color develops with maturity, and you may use this indicator to determine the bird's breeding capabilities.
