Jajabi :: Lorito encapuchado :: Brown-hooded parrot
One of the most highly esteemed birds for the taíno were parrots for their economic value. Oviedo (1526) claimed that there were, ”so many different species of parrots that it would be a long task to describe them.” Indeed, Oviedo claimed that 10 to 12 species of parrots were shipped to King Ferdinand in Spain and that many of these could talk.

The vase was sourced directly from Mexico, via San Diego, and hand-treated with sealant to house your favorite plant babies and withstand periodic watering; as well as , a final glaze to protect the hand painted artwork.
It works great for a unique gift for nature lovers, birders, and other enthusiasts in love with what nature gifts us everyday. Although the pots give a reference to the Mexican artisan cup, jarritos, they are not designed to drink from, and should only be used for decorative purposes.
About the brown-hooded parrot
Medium-sized, rather chunky parrot of humid tropical lowlands. Found in rainforest and edge, where easily overlooked in the canopy, feeding quietly on fruits. Most often seen in fast direct flight, low over the canopy in pairs or small groups. In flight, armpits show brilliant red, but often birds are flying too fast to see this. On perched birds, note the brown head (small red ear patch is rarely visible), pale spectacles, and very pale bill. (source: ebird.org)
