Rare and lovely, this species must be seen in person to fully appreciate
it's beauty.
Measuring approximately 24 inches, red fronts are the smallest of the
large macaws. Red fronts are not nearly as noisy as their larger
counterparts and can turn out to be fairly good talkers. Red fronts
are also very social with extremely sweet dispositions and
make outstanding pets.
