Crimson-fronted Parakeets at Hampton Inn, San Jose, Coast Rica |
|
 |
|
Over 100 Crimson-fronted Parakeets roost
every night at the Hampton Inn near the San Jose airport. This is a
spectacle of nature to watch them come to the palm trees in front of
the hotel. 25 February 2017 |

The parakeets are noisy and gregarious.
Suddenly at sunset, everything went silent until before
sunrise. If you want to see them again in the morning you have to
get up really early as they depart for feeding areas around sunrise.
They seem to show affection for each other as they groom one
another. 25 February 2017. |

They may get
minerals from the palm tree to help with digestion, as do parrots
and parakeets in Amazonia at palm licks |

They hung out on the
roof and ledges of the hotel. |
