This large macaw measures 75–85 cm (30–34 in) in length (including its long tail). It has a wingspan of 36 – 40 inches (approx. 91 – 102 cm) and weighs around 2.2 – 3.3 (1000 – 1500 g).
The forehead, crown, neck, wings and tail are light greenish-blue. The naked face is striped with dark greenish-blue feather lines.
This parrot has a striking plumage that is turquoise blue on the head and back, and the chest, abdomen, thighs and the underparts of the wings are bright yellow. They have long tails that are orange below and blue on top.
This species has distinctive blue cheeks and throat patches. Males may possibly have a darker patch of blue on the throat.
The large bill is dark grey-black, hooked and strong enough to crush even larger nuts. The beak also comes in handy when climbing around the trees. The dark grey feet are zygodactylous (with 2 toes pointing forward and 2 toes pointing backward) – an adaptation that helps them grasp securely the branches as they perch or move around in trees.
The eyes are pale yellow with an indistinct greyer ring near the pupil.
