parrot

With very distinct habits, it lives alone or in small flocks of 8 to 10 birds. It usually looks for food in grassy fields or in marshes, but rarely in the water. For this, it has a long and curved beak, its most important ally, since it manages to extract larvae and other insects from the soft earth.

In addition to this physical detail, it is distinguished by its light color and wide wings, with a gray back and a greenish glow. Males are slightly larger than females, reaching 69 cm in length. When night comes, it perches in the trees to sleep. He usually screams at this time and at daybreak.
