Editing Lear's macaw (section)

==Description==
Lear's macaw is {{convert|70|–|75|cm|in|frac=2|abbr=on}} long and weighs around {{convert|950|g|lboz|abbr=on}}.

The body, tail, and wings are dark metallic blue with a faint, often barely visible, tinge of green, and the head is a slightly paler shade. It has an area of pale-yellow skin adjacent to the base of its beak, and orange-yellow eye rings. It has a large, blackish beak and dark grey feet.

Lear's macaw is similar to the larger hyacinth macaw and the slightly smaller [[glaucous macaw]]. The hyacinth macaw can be distinguished by its darker plumage, lack of greenish tinge, and a differently shaped patch of yellow skin adjacent to the base of the bill. The glaucous macaw is paler and has a more greyish head.<ref name = birdlife-1544>{{cite web| publisher =BirdLife International (2008) |url = http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/species/index.html?action=SpcHTMDetails.asp&sid=1544&m=0 |title = Species factsheet: ''Anodorhynchus leari'' | access-date = 24 July 2008}}</ref>[[File:Lears macaw (1).jpg|thumb|Lear's macaw, NE Brazil.]]
