From parakeets to macaws, there are many different shapes, sizes and colors of parrots in Brazil. Here are just three of the many that I saw. The first is a jandaya parakeet, the second a blue fronted parrot and the third a yellow chevroned parakeet. There’s often confusion as to the difference between a parrot and a parakeet when, in fact, parakeets are simply a large group of different parrots that are small in size and have long tails. A parrot, by definition, is any bird with a hooked bill and on each foot two toes facing forward and two back. Glad we cleared this up.
