Mr. and Mrs. Green

These small green parrots are very common in Brasil. They usually travel in couples but at playtime they fly in flocks of 10 to 20 here in Águas da Prata. They make a lot of noise, especially when flying.




This was an orphan rescued by the Guarda Verde in Poços de Caldas. When he matured they let him go.




There are not many in town now in winter, but they return in large numbers in September.
