levan tsuladze:HELP:鹦鹉的英文介绍~

The Red Fronted Macaw may be classified as the largest of the mini macaws, or the smallest of the larger macaws. It is about 22 inches in length, primarily green with red on the crown, cheeks, top of the wings, and the legs. It does not have a facial patch as do most of the other macaws. It has a white eye ring that does not have feathers.

My experience with the Red fronted Macaw species is limited to the pair pictured, which I raised from babies 12 years ago. I raised them to be a breeding pair and have not handled them since they were very young. To this day, when separated from the female, the male will get on my hand without nipping or biting. I have found them to be very outgoing, curious, and playful parrots. Although this species may have a tendency to be on the vocal side, I have not found them to be exceptionally noisy.

If raised as family members, and socialized as all babies should be, the Red fronted macaw would make an excellent family addition. It would be the perfect choice for someone that likes the personality of the larger macaws, but does not have the room for the cage size that would be required for a large parrot.

One of their typical sign is the big head with a bended strong beak. The upper part is curved downward, ending in a sharp tip and fits over an upward curved lower mandible with a broad front. The upper mandible of the beak is movable against the head with an extra angle and muscles, while in other birds this mandible is blocked to the skull and more or less unmovable. The special mechanism of muscles for the beak (crosswise up and down) gives great power.
The broad and fleshy tongue is strengthened by a horny layer under the tip. Beak and tongue together make an excellent tool for cracking seeds, wood carving, digging holes etc. or are used as "third hand" while climbing and to examine things.
The nostrils are placed in a naked or feathered fleshy cere at the base of the upper mandible.
Also the zygodactyl feet (two toes forward, two back) are obvious and give them excellent ability in climbing and manipulating things. The outer toes are prolonged against the inner.
Compared to other orders of birds the Psittaciformes have less but stronger feathers. The parson's nose is reduced and there are special powder dunes which produce a fine mealy dust to conserve the plumage. Generally a psittacine bird has 12 tailfeathers. The shape of these feathers varies within the genera/species. The feathers of the Psittaciformes contain a specific group of pigments, called Psittacin which in combination with others lead to the beautiful colors that are found in these bird
