Clay Buffet - Mealy Amazon Parrots Enjoy a Unique Dining Experience in Yasuni National Park!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Lucas Bustamante, we witness a mesmerizing sight in the heart of Ecuador's Yasuni National Park. A vibrant flock of Mealy Amazon Parrots, known for their striking blue-crowned feathers, gather together to indulge in an unusual feast - clay! As these colorful avian connoisseurs perch on tree branches and surround a natural clay lick, it's as if they've stumbled upon an exclusive buffet just for them. With beaks dipped into the soft earthy substance, each parrot savors its share of minerals and nutrients found within the clay. Yasuni National Park provides these magnificent creatures with not only a safe haven but also an abundant feeding ground. This protected area serves as their sanctuary amidst the lush rainforest habitat of Latin America. While most birds rely on seeds or fruits for sustenance, our clever Mealy Amazon Parrots have discovered that indulging in some mineral-rich clay can do wonders for their health and digestion! It seems they've unlocked nature's secret recipe for vitality. So next time you spot these feathered foodies at your local pottery class or art studio, don't be surprised if they're there to satisfy more than just artistic cravings. These parrots sure know how to dine with style while enjoying all that Mother Nature has to offer!
