Hi Jennifer;

If you go to this site:

http://www.birdsnway.com/boards/mt/mt.cgi

It is a macaw chat - and - if you post your picture on
there - there will be many that will welcome your post as
well as help you in distinguishing what breed of Macaw you
have.

Looking forward to seeing your post & picture of your baby
real soon. Remember scarlet's don't have any red feathers on
their face. As a matter of fact it looks like they don't
have any hair on their face.
