Its an Amazonian parrot. According to IUCN Red List is native to: Bolivia; Brazil; Colombia; Costa Rica; Ecuador; French Guiana; Guyana; Panama; Peru; Suriname; Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.
I didn't know I have this parrot in my neighborhood, I knew about them because you see people having them as pets or captive in the zoo.
Tienes que estar pendiente! I'm gonna try to record their call tomorrow morning.
I have never seen this specie in Panama. Is this endemic on Comobia?
