Toucans and Parakeets sighting

Might as well share these videos I took last year.

My parents and I were doing a morning hike during a trip and a flock of 6 Green Billed Toucans showed up. They were vocalizing a lot and fed on the tiny fruits of the trees. Toucans don't usually show up in my city as they don't like its super urbanized environment(10th biggest city in the world), but they do make appearances on greener parts of it.

I'm not sure what these are called in english, but here we call them Maritaca or just green parakeets. Unlike toucans, these guys LOVE the city. They thrive greatly here and are everywhere, you can't go a single day without hearing a passing flock. Sometimes groups will stop by my yard to feed on some fruits, and they sometimes climb on buildings to chew on the bricks, which is a delight to watch.
