Post: Is this bird a Catalina or a Scarlet?

Posted by Jennifer on 9/04/08

I bought a macaw from a lady who knows nothing about birds.
what I was told is that he is a Catalina Macaw who is
almost 2 years old. I don't think this bird is a Catalina I
think the bird is a scarlet. His name is Bubba. Here are
some weird little markings he has. His head is red but on
his neck he has little yellow tips on his feathers. The
tips of his wings are red with yellow bands around his
wings and are tiped with green then light blue and dark
blue. I am not really sure if this bird is a catalina or a
scarlet with different markings. Could it maybe be a Ruby
macaw?? I will post some pictures later.
