🦜 Clay licks for macaws, parrots and tapirs too!🦜
The mineral-rich Amazon clay licks attract thousands of dazzling macaws and parrots in a feeding frenzy that has to be seen to be believed, plus the chance to see elusive tapirs at a forest lick!
Witness a profusion of colour, sound and activity as countless numbers of parrots and macaws throng to the lick to feast on the nutritious clay, possibly a kind of detox. It verges on the riotous as they jostle for position, compelled by an irresistible instinct to consume. Not that they are alone. Mammals also visit clay licks and in Peru you can see the otherwise elusive tapir revelling in the clay, a rare privilege.🤩
