Clay-munching Cobalt-winged Parakeets - A Colorful Feast in Yasuni National Park!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant snapshot captured by Karine Aigner, we witness a lively gathering of Cobalt-winged parakeets indulging in an unusual culinary delight - clay! These neotropical parrots, known for their stunning cobalt blue wings, have flocked together at the famous claylick in Ecuador's breathtaking Yasuni National Park. With feathers ablaze in a kaleidoscope of greens and blues, these playful avian acrobats show off their true parrot charm as they nibble on the mineral-rich clay. It may seem like an odd choice for a meal, but these clever creatures know that consuming clay helps them supplement their diet with essential minerals not found elsewhere. As part of a larger group or flock, these social birds relish every moment spent feasting together. Their synchronized munching creates a symphony of crunches amidst the lush tropical backdrop. The air is filled with joyous squawks and cheerful chirps as they bond over this unique dining experience. Yasuni National Park stands tall as a protected haven for countless species like our cobalt-winged friends. This remarkable reserve showcases nature's wonders at its finest – from exotic wildlife to breathtaking landscapes. So next time you stumble upon one of nature's quirkiest moments captured on film, remember the delightful scene unfolding before your eyes - where colorful parakeets find bliss in devouring humble clay
