Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, a place of incredible beauty, is full of parrots because local conservationists toil through the dark, rain, and wind to count every parrot they can.

Parrots are an amazing group of species, demonstrating not just beauty and vocal learning throughout their lives, but complex social relationships. Parent parrots invent a unique "signature call" for each chick in the nest, which functions as a name. They don’t just mimic human language and environmental sounds, they “talk to each other” using their own language and dialects. Parrots can also count

In parrot conservation sacred moments come upon us unexpectedly and enforce our vision of solidarity.
