Plain Parakeets: Serra dos Tucanos, Brazil

[saagua1953]

I suspect these are Forpus Xanthopterygius. The voyage of the Bretoa in 1511 brought back birds like this to Lisbon. The Tupi Indians called them "toim".

@saagua1953 No, these are Brotogeris tirica

lorikeets?

[redshouldervids]

No, this species is Plain Parakeet. Lorikeets are a family of parrots confined to Australasia.

That would be net to have them show up at my backyard feeder. I won't hod my breath on that.

Me neither!! If you ever get the chance this place in Brazil really is a great birding spot.
