[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was already coming back home when I had the chance to take this shot. This species, which in Brazil is called "maritaca", always flies in groups. Besides, they're noisy, so that it's easy to notice when they're around. Because of their noisy reputation, when a person talks a lot, people say, in a pejorative way, such person is a "maritaca".

This is a great photo. I just wish I get the chance to see it wild someday.

Beautiful colours and a nice composition. It is a bit unsharp but that is not so important.

Hello Livio,
Fine capture of a species of Parakeet new to me. Pretty sharp and in a nice composition with palm fronds and blue sky, blurred enough to make the parakeet stand out.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Livio,

A beautiful bird - another that I have never seen. The colors are magnificent. Nice details and the pretty but busy bg works. The bird stands out well in all his glory.

Hello Livio,
Wonderful capture.POV,vivid colors,clear details and framing are excellent.
TFS..:-)

Hi Livio,
Lots of nice colors is this wonderful sharp capture of the comical looking (Brotogeris chiriri). What is it eating? :)

I am not incorrect on the naming of this species I did not give complete name, which is (Brotogeris versicolorus chiriri). First part of name being the genus(Brotogeris), second part of name is species(versicolurus), third part of name, if any, the sub species(chiriri). So yes (Brotogeris versicolurus chiriri) or (Brotogeris versicolurus) does exist in your range. It is sometimes common to just name the animal just using genus and species mentioned in its scientific naming format when the full name is not known, but at least it is a way to break it down so the animal is easier to identify when trying to reference more information on genus and species.

Reference: Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World


*New Note:

The above information is not valid as the species mentioned in my notes are not conspecific, at one time they were classified as one species in older reference material according to the above noted source which was dated in 1991. Steve(cuckooroller) has pointed this out to me in more current reference material from multiple sources.

Thanks Steve for your findings and correction.
