Among the four polychrome boards at Teotihuacan, near Mexico City, the most prominent mural features green and white feathered birds standing in procession. Likely a depiction of a parrot or macaw with its open, curved beak, it sits above a bent band.

This is a large parrot, at Sylvan Heights Bird Park, with long tail feathers, mainly blue and yellow. The forehead is green, the upper part of the body brilliant blue, and the sides of the neck and body golden yellow. These macaws also have black around the chin and cheeks, and the naked skin of the cheeks is pinkish-white with lines of very small, isolated black feathers. Macaws are often monogamous, remaining bonded for life. They are usually seen flying in large flocks, and the bonded pairs fly close together, their wings nearly touching.
A parakeet is any one of many small- to medium-sized parrot species, in multiple genera, that generally have long tail feathers. The two basic parakeet color types are green and blue.
Parakeets at Sylvan Heights Bird Park are in a small protected enclosure where visitors can feed them, and the birds sit on the visitors’ hands or heads.

The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the ring-necked parakeet (more commonly known as the Indian ringneck parrot), is a medium-sized parrot. This is one of the few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in disturbed habitats; it has withstood the onslaught of urbanization and deforestation. Spotted these parrots at a birdfeeder in Kayavarohan, Gujarat, India.
