Peach-fronted Parakeet (Eupsittula aurea)

My last day at Pousada Xaraés was a wet one, and a totally different setting than the previous two, which were sunny and hot.

This group of parakeets look soaked and miserable, but they seemed to welcome the wetness as a different sort of having a bath. In the dry season they have to find muddy pools, and even caiman infested and dangerous pools to have a bath. Rain is clean and everywhere – freedom at last!
