Description
Judy was one of the most interesting characters I met at the little eco lodge on the archipelago of Solentiname in Lake Nicaragua. She still had free range of her island home but she was also clearly attached to the family who owned the lodge and she was very much posing for the tourists with their cameras when we first met her. It was clear she was used to being told what a pretty bird she was!
For me, this really captured the dual nature of Judy's life, the jungle flora on one side and the lodge she called home at least some of the time on the other.
I believe I've correctly identified Judy as being a Scarlett Macaw, but if anyone more familiar with parrots thinks otherwise, please feel free to speak up!
