Wild Orange chinned parakeet in Costa Rica
Wild Nanday parakeet , a naturalized non-native psittacine species found in Florida
These birds are found in many places in small flocks. This one was at the beach with its buddies at Ft. DeSoto Park on the Gulf. They are easy to find as any conure owner will tell you, they are quite noisy!!
