Betoven, la pena y el carpintero

At the welcome kiosk of the Fundación Loros, the team carried out their daily routine of preparing and chopping food for the birds, working side by side in an atmosphere of easy camaraderie. Later, in aviario número 2, Betoven — a yellow-headed Amazon parrot bearing green tag number 15 — was observed alongside another individual of the same species engaged in allopreening, a moment that drew the curious attention of everyone present. During the rounds, in a rubber tree standing close to the facilities, a woodpecker was spotted drilling into the bark in search of food, its rhythmic work a textbook display of the foraging behavior so characteristic of its kind.
