Raining almost the entire day today. Rain eased off as I arrived back home in Richmond. Continuing with the birds from Bloedel.
This is Casey, the Yellow-headed Amazon Parrot (Amazona oratrix), which is a species "said to be the loudest of all Amazon parrots. They can live to be 60 to 80 years old and are native to the Amazon Basin, Northern Brazil and the Eastern Andes." From Quick Guide: Birds of Bloedel.
Quite amazing to see a bird that does not belong in this part of the world...
