Parrots (Lora) on Bonaire: Colorful Residents of the Caribbean Island.
Bonaire is known for its native bird species, including the colorful and charming parrots known as Loras. The Lora, scientifically known as Amazona barbadensis, is a species of parrot found in the Caribbean Islands region. They are known for their bright green plumage, with distinctive red spots on their face and wings. They have a long, sharp beak that allows them to easily make their way into the juicy pulp of the cacti that are common in Bonaire’s arid landscape. The cacti are an important food source, but they also feed on fruits, seeds and nuts that grow in the wild.

My name is Casper Douma and I am a photographer. Since 2014 I’ve been living on this beautiful island, surrounded by a fringing reef. At first glance, you may see mostly cacti and drought, but Bonaire is a little gem if you get to know it better. I would like to take you on one of my photography tours to show you all the special places of Bonaire. In small groups of maximum 4 people I give you a unique look at the beauty of Bonaire. Became curious? Take a look at my website! I wish you a lot of fun on beautiful Bonaire.”
