Green Parrots In Costa Rica

in animalphotography •  6 years ago 

These beautiful green parrots can often be heard chattering as they fly by but are not always so easy to spot on the ground for a photo. I was lucky to catch a pair in the early morning preening themselves on the branches of a dead tree.

Cheers mike

That is a beautiful bird - I hope you let him out to stretch his wings and fly. 😉

Oh yes most days

AWESOME 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Oh man when I first moved to CR I had an apartment at the top of the office tower in Mall San Pedro. Soon after I moved there, a pair of them nested outside the window. I was so excited to see parrots right outside my window - until about 4:40AM every day when they'd start making a racket lol

Hahaha they are very noisy, indeed! But there's a lot of noisy birds in here! Glad you like it!!

There sure a lot and even though I have been here for over a year now still I hear and see new species every week. Birds are not the easiest to spot or photograph so many have evaded my lens thus far but that is fine. To hear a new song or call just fills me with excitement and fills every day with joy and wonder. This is an incredible country for wildlife that constantly takes my breath away. It is a treasure and thankfully treated as one by its government. There is hope for the world yet. ☺️

It is true there is plenty of birdsong and calls here - I think it helps to be a nature photographer as I welcome them alerting me to their presence. Just this morning I awoke to a new bird call I have not heard before. Very loud and some might say unattractive but to me I was thrilled at the thought of capturing a new species and jumped out of bed with the biggest smile on my face. I could hear him but couldn’t make him out in the branches so he remains a mystery for another day to uncover.

Very beautiful birds. And the color is very beautiful, I love to see him this beautiful bird,
Have a nice day
Good post @sallybeth23

Thank you very much

You are welcome,
Hope to give you the best always

does the parrots look at you with love or fear?

Interest maybe he has no reason to fear me.

Lovely photo! I wonder if you can teach them to say stuff like parrots in captivity?

Thanks for commenting but I prefer then as they come naturally so would not think to teach them anything 😉 They are way up in the tree tops anyway.

That's cool. Looking forward to more jungle photos :)

Beautiful green Parrots, i ♥ parrots.

Amazing animalphotography..dear @sallybeth23 and nice post..thank you..

Thanks

Are you good at God's grace? Your post has been very good.
It is very nice to see photography. I do the dew to God,
You can post better than this. We are with you.
I'm following you. Thank you

Every day you get to see a new feathered friend, I'm so jealous haha but I'm glad there's a place like this in the first place

Just this morning I awoke to a new bird call. It is incredible the diversity of life here. A real blessing.

Aww shuck! I love these great birds, thank God people nowadays don't cage them as they used to and let them be. In San José you can see them in flocks going around, mostly the little ones. That's something I didn't see much in the past and now it's thankfully something normal! Thank you for sharing @sallybeth23!

That is lovely you see lots in the city too. I love them. I am glad they are so successful. You need a few red and blue macaws too, hopefully one day they too will be numerous in San Jose.
How has your internet connection been in the city lately? Was meaning to ask you- there have been a lot of outages down my way 😉

Well, so far so good @sallybeth23! I haven't noticed any problem with my Internet connection in here, however, a friend of mine asked me that same question a few days ago. I really haven't seen something weird or uncommon, but it could be that they are doing some maintenance in the network. Are you using Kölbi or any other provider in there?

Oh yeah red and blue macaws would be awesome!!! I've seen them only in the zoo unfortunately, but I hope some day they also make a great comeback!!

Yes I think the storms affect our internet a lot but never mind, the wildlife makes up for any such minor inconvenience. I see flocks of these macaws as many as a dozen at a time all squalling in the treetops together. Absolutely breath taking!!! A single pair fly by my house regularly too and even sit on my balcony railings sometimes... it’s just insane!

Wow! It's mesmerizing! I'm sure in time we will see more of them flying around!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow amazing great photography.

Thanks

Just amazing Sally... Looking so great... Amzing and stunning photography....
