Red-lored Parrot

The Red-lored Parrot was a fairly common parrot around the resort area and almost always seen in pairs either early morning or in the evening.

They are a fairly large, bright green parrot of humid tropical lowlands and found in forest edge, and semiopen areas with scattered tall trees and forest patches.

The best field mark is the contrasting yellow cheek patch; also note red forehead. Like other parrots in the same genus, in flight shows a red patch on the flight feathers.
