four toes on each foot - two pointing forward and the other two pointing backwards. The body is generally covered with green feathers. Some parrots have light-blue feathers on their heads and yellow feathers on their necks. Parrots use their beaks to perch on the branches of trees, defend themselves and break hard food such as nuts. This bird is the largest of the parrot family in the Amazon, and its scientific name is Amazona farinosa. This name comes from a sort of white powder on its feathers, like flour, since farinha means flour in Portuguese.
