When & Where

After several releases at the North Belt Region, it is possible to find the Parrot in its
natural habitat.  We are now offering half and full day birding trips to the Cordillera
Central for those interested in seeing this endemic species.  An all recent birding
trips, we have seen at least two parrots; occasionally, we have spotted the Parrot at
El Yunque.
