The red-and-green macaw (Ara chloropterus), also known as the green-winged macaw,^[2] is a large, mostly-red macaw of the genus Ara. It is popular in aviculture, and the second most commonly kept macaw species as a pet or companion parrot after the Blue and Gold Macaw. But they are not so common in captivity like the Blue and Gold Macaw and are much more expensive than them, their prices being normally double the price of a blue and gold.

This is the largest of the genus Ara, widespread in the forests and woodlands of northern and central South America. However, in common with other macaws, in recent years there has been a marked decline in its numbers due to habitat loss and illegal capture for the parrot trade.
