Golden-capped Parakeet (Aratinga auricapillus)

They were drinking from these water holes that form from broken tree trunks.

Very high up that tree, but I can't complain. They let me take a lot of cool shots that morning. Very beautiful parakeet species.

Lovely threesome! The one in the background has a subtle eye on you, Roynato.

Splendid shot!
