WHITE BELLIED CAIQUE


White Bellied Caique (Pionites leucogaster)

Observation
I observed this bird on 17 September 2011 while attending the Wildlife Conservation Festival at the John Heinz National Refuge Center in Philadelphia, PA. The bird has brilliant green feathers on the wings, a white chest and orange and yellow around the head. As I approached the display, I could hear the bird making a loud noise with its mouth.The caique, on display with several other parrots, stood on a perch and moved its head often. After a few minutes the caique became quiet again.
