Iquitos is a jungle enviornament that is filled with animals. Not only did I get to see the animals, but I even got the chance to carry some! One of the animals was called Pepe, and he was a rescued tucan, a member of the bird family. He did not know how to talk, but he knew commands such as "Come here Pepe." He was not big; he was a middle-sized bird, and he wanted lots of love and attention!
He is a bird with a black beak and has strippes by his eyes. Most of his wing feathers are blue, but his body is a mixture of orange and yellow. He has a long tail too.
The first time I saw Pepe, I couldn't stop looking at his wings. They were majestic! The turquoise wings caught my attention first, but the rest of him was beautiful too. I could not take my eyes off of him; he was incredible!
He is a macaw bird that live in the jungle. These birds are native to Central America, Mexico and South America. They love the rainforest.
