Maroon Bellied Parakeet

We do not get many parrots in Africa so it was great to be able to see many at Trilha dos Tucanos (Toucans Trail) in the Atlantic Rainforest on Brazil. A basic but homely lodge recommended by Nate Chappel.

A beauty. Love the colors. Good detail and nice head turn.

Sweet, Ken. You have excellent detail in the bird and perch and I like the bg. I'd be tempted to trim a bit off the bottom, but that's just my taste in compositions.

Feels like it is out of a tale. Gorgeous parrot and dreamy background.
