The GARUBA OF BRAZIL (_Conurus luteus_) is a splendid bird, of bright
egg-yellow colour, only varied by the green and black upon the wings and
tail. The head and wings are usually of a brighter colour than the rest
of the body; the wings are externally green, tipped and bordered with
black; the beak greyish horn yellow; the foot flesh-coloured, varied with
grey; the narrow bare places round the eyes whitish; the eyes are dark
orange. Its length is fourteen and a half inches, six inches of which
belong to the tail. The length of the wings is about the same. The north
of Brazil, particularly the country near the Amazon, is the principal
habitat of the Garuba, but nowhere is it found in great numbers.
