orange-chinned parakeet

Orange chinned parakeets that I spotted in the far away trees outside my friend's apartment in Cali Colombia. I love these little acrobats. Watching them was so much fun. I think I watched them for half an hour before they flew away.

Orange-chinned Parakeet and a tasty meal of Mango!

There were 7 of these parakeets watching us watch them!

Orange-chinned Parakeet (Brotogeris jugularis subsp. jugularis). Sexes similar. Old Gamboa Road just west of Summit Gardens, north of Panam City towards Gamboa, Panam Province, Panam. Cleared with patches of remnant tropical lowland rainforest at 30 m (98 ft) elevation.

The orange just under the beak consists of only a few feathers, and may be difficult to see. I photographed these birds from my table at a restaurant. Fruit feeders had been placed in clear view of the tables.

This parakeet was eating ants from an anthill that was in a palm tree

Orange-chinned Parakeet (Brotogeris jugularis jugularis) Two subspecies are recognized with only the nominate being mapped for Panama. A very noisy and abundant bird throughout the canal zone. Photographed at Summit Gardens between Gamboa and Panama City, east side of the Panama Canal, Panama...

Seen well while our February 2011 two-weeks trip in the Andes (Eastern, Central and Western) and inter-Andean valleys (Cauca & Magdalena) with Canada/UK clients. We recorded over 500 species without visiting Santa Marta or Caribbean Coast areas!! Photos at...

These chaps are making short work of the fruit on this Mango Tree; look closely and you can see the bill marks. I like the symmetry of the shot too.

Naughty parrots, very hard to capture. Coconuts help with scale, these guys are pretty small!

Regular visitor to out B&B in Panama City but still failed to capture the orange chin despite many shots

There was a pair of these lovely parakeets hanging around a snag in the cleared area on the way to the oilbird cave.

Abundant in Panama

Each early morning the boys of the lodge lift up the bananas on a taller tree with a rope and a pulley.So it was a great distance to take photos.
