Red-shouldered macaw
The red-shouldered macaw (''Diopsittaca nobilis'') is a small green South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called macaws. The species is named for the red coverts on its wings. It is the smallest macaw, being 30–35 cm (12–14 in) in length. It is native to the tropical lowlands, savannah, and swamplands〔(Online Book of Parrots - Genus Diopsittaca )〕 of Venezuela, the Guianas, Bolivia, Brazil, and far south-eastern Peru. It has two distinct subspecies, the noble macaw and the Hahn's macaw, and a possible poorly distinct third subspecies that has longer wings, but is otherwise similar to the noble macaw. Red-shouldered macaws are frequently bred in captivity for the pet trade, where they are sometimes described as mini-macaws.
Though wild populations of red-shouldered macaws have declined locally due to habitat loss, they are listed as Least Concern by IUCN. They are listed on Appendix II of CITES, trade restricted.
==Taxonomy==
The red-shouldered macaw (''Diopsittaca nobilis'', Linnaeus 1758) is a member of the monotypic genus ''Diopsittaca'' (Ridgway 1912), one of 6 genera of Central and South American macaws. There are two distinct subspecies, ''D. n. nobilis'' (Hahn's macaw) and ''D. n. cumanensis'' (noble macaw), and some with longer wings might represent a poorly differentiated subspecies, ''D. n. longipennis'', which intergrades with ''D. n. cumanensis'' in central Goiás, Brazil.〔Forshaw (2006). plate 73.〕 Previously the red-shouldered macaw was included in the genus ''Ara''.
