Thank you Joshua G Smith for the double ID and links of these Parakeets.

Thank you Geoffrey Palmer for the ID (it has been a year) but somehow I lost track of this one. They are now in the Birds of Peru Mission.

You actually have 2 species here in the first photo, which is interesting that they were foraging together! The one on the left is definitely a Tui Parakeet (Brotogeris sanctithomae), but I'm not as confident about the ID of the second bird on the right. I think it is a White-winged Parakeet (Brotogeris versicolurus), but you may want to consult some other sources for that! Cool photos.
