Amazonian Sunset: Hundreds of Birds Stage a Daily Spectacle in Colombian Park

Leticia, Colombia: A Daily Avian Spectacle at Sunset Leticia, a city nestled in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, is known for its biodiversity. But few know about the nightly spectacle that unfolds in Parque Santander. Every evening, hundreds of birds, primarily parrots and swallows, converge in the park, creating a stunning aerial display against the backdrop of a vibrant sunset. "It's unbelievable," says Arce de Viaje, a traveler who captured the phenomenon on video. "The synchronization is incredible. They come from the jungle every day to put on this show." While the exact reasons behind this behavior remain unclear, some suggest it's a response to human encroachment on the rainforest. The birds' synchronized flight is a testament to the rich ecosystem and the resilience of nature in the face of human activity. The event showcases the beauty of the Amazon and the unexpected wonders that can be found even in urban settings within the rainforest.
