![]() Let’s start with lowland one the Brown-throated Parakeet. We have a couple of specialty parakeets found in the southern zone one up high, one down low. Crimson-fronted Parakeet: photo by Jo Davidson There are few guarantees in bird watching but finding these guys in the Botanical Garden palm tree by the back gate comes pretty close. Seemingly everyone’s first parrot family sighting in the southern zone, the Crimson-fronted Parakeet is almost always seen flying or roosting communally.

The Mealy Parrot (below) is the largest of all the Amazon parrots. Next, we have two members of the Amazon Parrot group. White-crowned Parrot: photo by Jo Davidson The last of this triad is the White-crowned Parrot quite similar to the Blue-head above. Next is my personal favorite, the Blue-headed Parrot. Brown-hooded Parrot: photo by Alison Olivieri The first parrot is the Brown-hooded Parrot. Parrots have a short, squared tail, as opposed to parakeets who have a pointy tail. We have three true ‘parrots’ around San Vito and all three are quite common. They are good family birds, many mating for life with each parent providing for the young.Īnd so for your approval, I present some photos of our southern zone parrots all taken by our local SBVC photographers.I think I know why we like parrots so much.
