Endemic bird of the day : Hispaniolan Parakeet

Abstract

Caribbean Endemic Bird Festival (CEBF) day 41 poster, dedicated to the Hispaniolan Parakeet. Meet the charming face of Hispaniola – the Hispaniolan Parakeet, known as the Perico in the Dominican Republic, or the Perruche in Haiti. These gregarious, green goofballs are most easily seen chattering noisily from the rooftops of Santo Domingo. They are extremely social and often hang out in large groups with as many as several dozen individuals. As a complement to the poster, a coloring sheet is included.
