Hendrickson 1950 Brotheria 1 Nov. 2 5 km N Villavicija, 1400 ft, Huila, Colombia S.A. A flock of about 10-12 flew low over me and landed in a tree in a park-like flat just N of Quebrada Lajas bridge (W of tracks). They appeared identical with our camp pet, which Paulino says is called “perico de conejón” or “conajero” because it builds its nest holes in the arboreal nests of termites (“conejos”). These birds squawk and screech much like the Aratinga which often pass high over camp, calling.
