About this species
The military macaw (Ara militaris) is a medium to large-sized macaw, named after its green and red plumage vaguely resembling a military uniform. It is native from west-central Mexico south through northern Argentina and Bolivia. While most wild populations are currently listed by the IUCN as vulnerable - and listed as endangered by Mexico - the species is still seen commonly in zoos and parks worldwide. The military macaw may be bred in captivity with relative ease, and is usually available through the pet trade. It is among the longest-lived one can own, requiring advanced knowledge, experience and confidence to keep them healthy, stimulated and thriving.

军舰金刚鹦鹉（学名：Ara militaris），或称军用金刚鹦鹉、军金刚鹦鹉，这些中文名称只是其英文名称「Military Macaw」的翻译。英文名称的起源是因为第一批进口欧洲的这个鹦鹉品称，多半是由军事人员运送，所以此鹦鹉被命名为军舰金刚鹦鹉。
军舰金刚鹦鹉是一种大型鹦鹉，其栖息的生境散落于墨西哥、哥伦比亚、委内瑞拉、秘鲁、厄瓜多、玻利维亚及阿根廷。
不同地区的军舰金刚鹦鹉，其生境亦有所不同，有的居住于潮湿的低地森林、长满树的山丘及峡谷；而在墨西哥，军舰金刚鹦鹉栖息于干燥或半干燥的树林、河岸的潮湿低地，或季节性地移居至茂密的棘林。
军舰金刚鹦鹉身体大部份为青绿色，上鸟喙处有一小片红色的羽毛，脸部的裸皮为浅红色，当兴奋或是激动的时候裸皮会变成深粉红色。脸颊边缘和下巴为橄榄棕色以及黑棕色，尾巴内侧和飞行羽为橄榄黄，鸟喙为黑色，虹膜为浅黄色。
