Hello everyone! Today I share this photo as my entry to the contest corresponding to today the label #Animalphotography by @juliank.

These beautiful birds of the Psittacidae family, we can enjoy them in the capital of my country Venezuela, where 15 species live, this one that I show you in the second picture is my favorite, its attractive plumage is characterized, bathed in a deep blue, like the of our extensive coasts, an intense red like the lower strip of our national flag, some with green like the vegetation that characterizes the parks that adorn this busy city, and yellow like the sun that awakens its people every morning, this species is known as Ara macao.


In a trip made last Sunday to Parque Generalísimo Francisco de Miranda located east of the city of Caracas Venezuela, we were pleasantly surprised, we appreciated at least 10 species, many of which were in pairs, then I would find out that it is something that characterizes them in their period of reproduction, in which they lay their eggs, usually 3, covered by the female for an average of about 25 days.

The feeding of these birds is based on fleshy fruits and vegetables, such as romaine lettuce or watercress, preferred are sunflower seeds, wheat, corn, rice, oats, and canarian seeds. They live approximately 70 years and it is a super intelligent animal and if they are taught they can learn to speak.
