The mealy parrot is one of the largest parrots in the Amazon, surpassed only by the macaws. It is mainly green and can be found in pairs or large flocks. This one was spotted solo in a tree cavity, although another could have been hiding somewhere in that tree. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/80th of a second.
I love all your photos. They are all exceptional. And I like them on other social media posts all the time. But I have to say that I really enjoy Louis’ comments the most. He’s extremely witty and unique.
First, about the parrot: he seems to be screaming: “Let me out! I’m stuck!) I love this shot with it’s balance of color and framing, and a gorgeous bird to boot.
As for Louis: love your posts! Sometimes I laugh out loud, and other times I’m affectionately worried about you! Keep us on our toes by looking at Sean’s world through a very different lens!

Nice, Sean!
If I formed a band out of Amazonian Parrots like this, I would name it Mealy Dan. We’d rock pretty hard.

I agree Rachel. I don’t often post a comment, but I enjoy all Sean’s photographs and Louis’ comments crack me up.
You too Karen.
You are the Mealy Parrot in the decaying tree of my heart, Rachel.
