but we could not see the parrot because life in a tropical rainforest goes on mainly in the canopy. Therefore it was a good opportunity to climb up a tower which was built into the rainforest about 30 minutes away from the lodge. On the top of this tower, which was next to a Brasil nut tree, we could overlook the whole rainforest which was like an ocean. In the far west I could see the Andes.
From this tower (where we spent many hours) we could observe
so many birds.
Quite close there was a nest of Yellow-thighed Caiques. These beautiful parrots were always my favourites and now I
observed a family of three of these amusing birds climbing in a tree and whistling. After some minutes they flew to their nest which was formed by a rotten branch which had fallen down. All of the birds disappeared into this nest.
I will never forget the early morning on this tower where the mists over the trees vanished
and the sun sent its first rays of light. Feeding flocks of multicoloured tanagers roamed the tree tops. Macaws shouted on the other side of the brown river which was full of sediments. In the tree tops grew epiphytic plants like Bromelias, Orchids and Tillandsias. We

pero que no podíamos ver el loro porque la vida en una selva tropical continúa principalmente en el dosel. Por lo tanto, fue una buena oportunidad de subir a una torre que fue construida en la selva cerca de 30 minutos de distancia del albergue. En la parte superior de esta torre, que estaba al lado de un árbol de nuez de Brasil, podríamos pasar por alto toda la selva, que era como un océano. En el extremo oeste pude ver los Andes.
Desde esta torre (donde pasamos muchas horas) pudimos observar
tantas aves.
Muy cerca había un nido de Goletas-amarillas thighed. Estos hermosos loros fueron siempre mis favoritos y ahora
observado una familia de tres de estas aves divertidos que suben en un árbol y silbidos. Después de algunos minutos volaban a su nido que fue formado por una rama podrida que había caído. Todos los pájaros desaparecieron en este nido.
Nunca olvidaré la madrugada en esta torre, donde la niebla más de los árboles desaparecieron
y el sol envió sus primeros rayos de luz. Bandadas de tangaras multicolores vagaban por las copas de los árboles. Guacamayos gritó en el otro lado del río marrón que estaba llena de sedimentos. En el árbol de tapas crecieron las plantas epífitas como bromelias, orquídeas y Tillandsias. Nosotros
