Finsch’s Parakeet

The Finsch’s Parakeet is one of the most recognizable parrots of Costa Rica’s Pacific region. Its vivid green plumage and striking red forehead make it easy to identify, while its loud calls often announce its presence long before it is seen.

Inca Dove

The Inca Dove (Columbina inca) is a small, graceful dove common in Costa Rica’s lowlands. Its scaly plumage, soft cooing, and ground-foraging behavior make it a charming presence in gardens and open areas.

Rainbow-billed Toucan

The Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus) is one of the most recognizable birds of Central America. Famous for its oversized, multicolored bill, it moves through the forest canopy with surprising agility.
