Parrots in My Costa Rican Neighborhood

10,000 Birds

This is the only parrot in the Central Valley with a short tail, white crown, and bat-like flight whereby the wings are flapped below the plane of the body. The other regular parrot around here is this species. White-fronted Parrot. They don’t like the leaves and detritus that gathers below the tree.
