The Amazon is the opposite of the Galapagos. The birds in the Galapagos are afraid of nothing and sit happily on the ground next to the trail. The birds in the Amazon are afraid of everything. They chirp loudly when nothing is in sight, but go still and silent when you get within sight, even if they are on the top of a 50m tall tree 20m away. And if they think you have seen them they fly away immediately.
Even the rooster would shut up in the morning if you walked over and stood within sight of his cage.
There are plenty of trees to hide in, and most of them are incredibly tall. This made it pretty much impossible to see anything.
Thus our bird pictures are not very good.
Except for the domesticated birds of course.
This is Nina.
She was captured by people trying to sell her as a pet. They injured her, and now she cannot fly or walk properly.
She hooks her beak on everything to climb around.
The rest of the birds were very far away and hard to make out details.
