Portrait of a Papagayo

The Papagayo is a species of bird native to these parts. It is also known as a Guacamaya and comes in two varieties, Guacamaya Roja and Verde. They are fairly large birds and have an amazingly raucous cry. Due to their colourful plumage, they are quite pleasing to observe and photograph. This one is a head shot so the colourful plumage isn't clearly visible but i might put another shot up later...

P.s It has come to my attention that not everyone is aware they can click on the images on the page to view a larger version. Have fun!
