Farther down, closer to her tail, the feathers are a much lighter blue until they reach her tail. Her neck feathers are a yellowish orange and blend into the red from the scarlet macaw. The rest of her belly and legs are red as well. The marginal coverts(arm portion) of her wings are a bright vibrant gree, then the primary and secondary coverts are a blue. The primaries and secondary flight feathers are a darker but vibrant blue. Her tail is a dark green-brownish mix with some of the blue coloring in them.

Some details you can't see; The underside of her wings and tail are a nice, pale yellow. The vent feathers(feathers under her tail before the tail feathers start) are the same bright blue as the lower back feathers.
