    Order: Psittaciniformes Family: Psitacidae

    The Scarlet Macaw has the largest range of any macaw in the
    genus Ara. There are two subspecies of the scarlet macaw. The
    Central American subspecies A. m. cyanoptera ranges from Mexico to
    Panama and is distinguished by blue on the wings instead of green.
    The South American subspecies A. m. Macao is smaller and ranges
    from Colombia to Paraguay.

    Although the scarlet macaw has a large range the population is
    decreasing. Due to its large range the IUCN has listed the species as
    Least Concern. However it is listed as Endangered by the USFW
    and as APPENDIX I by CITES. Like other psittacines this species
    is protected by the Wild Bird Conservation Act (WBCA).
