The Orange-fronted Parakeet (below) is one of the birds that can be found at the
parking of El Portal Visitors Center in El Yunque. If you look closely to the pictures to
the left, the eye ring is yellow, the Puerto Rican R Parrot´s eye ring (top) is white.
Many people are saying that they have spotted the PR Parrot at El Portal but they have
had a real encounter with this parakeet.
