Red-and-green Macaw (Ara chloroptera)
This clay-lick is about one our boat drive downstream from the Amazon Research and Conservation Center in the Peruvian Amazon.

This lick was dominated by the Red-and-green Macaw, but several other species of parrot come, but mostly they are smaller and timid - waiting for their turn.
