A brown-throated parakeet (Eupsittula pertinax xanthogenia) eating the fruit of a candle cactus. Bonaire has been in a drought for almost three years, so fruit is difficult to come by.  The subspecies, which has more yellow on its face than other subspecies, is endemic to Boniare. Now that the trade in yellow-shouldered amazon parrots is illegal, some Bonarieans believe that the parakeet is being poached more regulalry and that its numbers may be going down without anyone really noticing..
