Psittacara finschi
Every morning I wake up with the birds singing but for the last week some birds, very talkative or what I would call argumentative where waking me up, I finally got up yesterday and got my camera, to my surprise it was not a flock it was just 2 very loving parrots!!
Habitat and distribution in Costa Rica Crimson-fronted Parakeets occur in semi-open areas and edge of humid forest
Crimson-fronted Parakeets are a long-tailed parakeet species with red underwings and a red front. The red front and underwings can be hard to see in flight but the long, pointed tail stands out. This feature helps separate the Crimson-fronted from the smaller, shorter-tailed Orange-chinned Parakeet Behavior in Costa Rica Like many parakeet species, the Crimson-fronted in Costa Rica is typically seen in pairs. If a third bird is present, it is probably a young bird flying with its parents. Crimson-fronted Parakeets are strong, fast flying birds and are most often seen (and heard) as they zip overhead, screeching the whole time.

Thank you so much, Xiaoxuan.
I had to search for a while because this birds were pretty large, for a while I thought they were Red-lored Parrots, but you were right they are Crimson-fronted Parakeets.
