Sun Parakeet
Aratinga solstitialis
The adult sun parakeet inhabits open tropical forest, palm groves, and savanna woodland in northern South America. It flies quickly through the canopy and uses a strong hooked beak to handle fruit, seeds, flowers, and occasional tender vegetation. Its loud carrying calls help it stay in contact over long distances. A notable fact is that its vivid yellow-orange body and green flight feathers make it one of the most strikingly colored parakeets.
