Video of the Saladero de Pericos clay lick at the Napo Wildlife Center

This is a short and compressed video taken at the Saladero de Pericos clay lick in the forest. Most of the birds in this footage are Cobalt-winged Parakeets.

The observation blind at the Saladero de Pericos in the forest is typically visited by a thousand or more Cobalt-winged Parakeets. The noise is incredible! From late October through early April, hundreds of Orange-cheeked Parrots are also found in the mix, as are rarities such as the Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet and occasional Scarlet and Red-and-Green macaws. The Napo Wildlife Center has two parrot blinds that allow you to see unbelievable sights like this, as well as the best canopy tower in Ecuador.
