Information

The Military Macaw goes by the scientific name Ara militaris. These social birds form flocks in the wild and are part of the order of Parrots in the animal kingdom. It is a species of bird from the Ara genus and is part of the Psittacidae family of true parrots. Originally they come from a range of different places throughout Central and South America, depending upon their subspecies. This encompasses the countries of Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela, and even a small section of Argentina.

Their numbers are declining and they are a threatened species of bird that is estimated to only have 2000 to 7000 individuals left in the wild. A lot of this is due to the loss of their natural habitat which is arid wooded areas and humid forests, which are normally at high elevations of 600 meters or more (some of the highest ranges for macaws). The average size for these birds is around 70 to 80 cm and their average weight is about 0.9 to 1.1 kg.

The 3 different subspecies of Macaw include the following:

  • Ara militaris militaris
  • Ara militaris mexicana
  • Ara militaris boliviana

With each one being located in different ranges across and going by their namesake.
