Macaws, Cockatoos, Greys, Poicephalus, Conures, Lovebirds, Parrotlets, Parakeets etc. Discuss topics related to specific species of parrots and their characteristics, mutations, pros, and cons.
I wonder why no one has ever replied to this. Maybe they don't have any wild parrots around them. But I happen to live in Rio de Janeiro. So I'm going to list a few of the parrots that I have spotted near my house:
Channel Billed Toucan (I saw one today on my morning drive)
Maritaca - Scaly Headed Parrot (very common)
Red-Bellied Toucan (I spot them sometimes on my way to my mum's house in the mountains)
localpigeon, that's amazing that you see those birds in the wild. Bird watching would defintely become a hobby if I could see parrots in the wild.
The closest I came was seeing Lorikeets in the wild when I visited austrailia 8 years ago, but that was before I had birds of my own and wasn't quite as fascinated with them as I am now.

On my recent trip to Brazil these xmas holidays, I spotted these... Not the best picture but it was getting dark and they were a bit far for the flash to capture them...
