I know everyone is waiting for the Taegari story - but you are just going to have to wait. While going downriver towards Loracachi we came across a clay lick. This is a spot where the parakeets congregate (especially in the morning) to lick minerals from the clay. These minerals help neutralize the toxins in the nuts and berries that the birds eat as their primary diet. This clay lick was in a very good location for observation as it was along the river. We found other clay licks deeper in the jungle - but they were usually a pretty good hike. In this video the 2 most predominant birds are the Amazon Parrot and the blue headed parrot.
