Cuban parrot on my hand
The parrot came to sit on my hand. A noisy, yet somewhat wary, species of forest canopies and treetops. It is the only naturally occurring large parrot within its range and is easily distinguished from other wild species by its largely green plumage, bulky body, and hefty bill. No other parrot shares this species’ rosy throat and white forehead—characteristics that eliminate non-native species that may occur as escapees from captivity. Calls include a variety of harsh squeaks and squawks that can have a conversational quality when in flocks.
A local restaurant owner told me that the parrot is like a domestic animal living free between the palmtrees and come to people for getting food.
