I have a Red Front Macaw... fairly rare and
usually NOT listed anywhere, so don't feel too bad!
Depending on which source you rely on, Red Fronts
are either the largest of the mini-macaws, or the smallest
of the full-size macaws. So they fall into the medium-large or large
category. Generally, about 24" in length, weight between 400 - 500 grams
(mine, for example last weighed in at 423g) but with a HUGE wingspan -
unclipped, their wings can reach up to 36".
Bit more trivia - this is the only parrot that
can fly straight up, hover, stop & change direction in mid-air and fly
backward! Truly amazing to watch. I've taught Murphy a few fun tricks: One
involves him taking off from my wrist straight up, turning in place a full 360
degrees - sometimes twice - then landing right back down on my arm.
I figure if you are going to send me a coupon,
you should at least get your money's worth, so now you know a little bit more
about the Red Front Macaw.
Thanks for the informative web site, and I will
be browsing your cage selections more.
