The military macaw (Ara militaris) is a large parrot and a medium-sized macaw that gets its name from its predominantly green plumage resembling a military parade uniform. The military macaw is native to forests of Mexico and South America and though considered vulnerable in the wild, it is still commonly found in the pet trade industry. (Order: Psittaciformes; Family: Psittacidae; Genus: Ara; Species: Ara militaris (Linnaeus, 1766); Synonym: Psittacus militaris Linnaeus, 1766)
