We got up very early to head out to the main river so that we could visit a “no contact” indigenous community. On the way we stopped at a Parrot and Parakeet lick. The birds get digestive minerals from the clay lick that are important to their diet and general health. They arrive at the same time, stay there for 15-20 minutes and then disappear back into the jungle. Of course their predictable habits do not go unnoticed by their natural predictor, the Bow snake, which sits patiently in the trees until one makes the mistake of landing on it. From the photos you can see what happens! It swallows it completely whole, digests the meat then regurgitates the skeleton, feathers beaks etc. Yuk! (Sorry Doris it is all part of the jungle).
