Today's shot is from my Guide to Composition video, it is the Chevron statue along Chicago's Lakefront. The artist, John Henry, had originally put this sculpture on his lawn, and received a number of complaints from neighbors before it was finally moved to its permanent home along the lake. Personally, I think it's a pretty cool statue and looks good in its new spot.

Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Yellow-chevroned Parakeet (Brotogeris chiriri) is native to tropical South America south of the Amazon River basin from central Brazil to southern Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina.Caged birds have been released in some areas and the birds have established self sustaining populations in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, California and Miami, Florida areas of the United States. This bird seems to be doing better in its North American feral population than its closely related cousin, the Canary-winged Parakeet. The species is also fairily establhished in the downtown area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where it was introduced. The native population in South America continues to do well.
The bird is 20-25 cm in length, and is mostly light green in color. It has a trailing yellow edge on its folded wings and is also seen when the bird is in flight. It is closely related to the Canary-winged Parakeet. In fact, it was considered conspecific until 1997.
The bird feeds mostly on seeds and fruit in its native habitat, and feral populations have adapted to take in blossoms and nectar. Feral birds will also come to bird feeders. Wild birds primarily use disturbed forest and forest clearings around settlements. It rarely uses deep tropical forest.
Yellow-chevroned Parakeets usually find holes in trees to nest in. They will also form nesting tunnels in dead palm fronds. It lays 4-5 eggs. After raising its young, all birds will form rather large communal roosts until the next breeding season.
Following, another text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Canary-winged Parakeet is 22 cm in length, and is mostly green in color. It has a trailing yellow edge on its folded wings. Its most distinguished characteristic is the white wing patches most noticed when the bird is in flight. It is closely related to the Yellow-chevroned Parakeet, and the two have often been considered conspecific.
Conspecificity is a concept in biology. Two or more individual organisms, populations, or taxa are termed conspecific if they belong to the same species.
The antonym is heterospecificity: two individuals are heterospecific if they are considered to belong to different biological species.
Where different species can interbreed and their gametes compete then conspecific gametes take precedence over heterospecific gametes. This is known as conspecific sperm precedence or conspecific pollen precedence in plants.
See the discussion of mirror neuron in which a neuron fires both when the animal performs an action and when the animal sees another animal perform the same action.

1. FICHA DO BICHO:
Nomes vulgares: Periquito-do-encontro-amarelo; Periquito-de-asa-amarela; Periquito-de-asas-amarelas; Periquito-estrela; Cotorra-de-las-amarillas (Espanha); Canary-winged-parakeet ou Yellow-chevroned-parakeet (EUA).
Nome científico: Brotogeris versicolorus chiriri (Vieillot, 1818)
Origem do Nome:"Periquito", origina-se do espanhol, periquillo. O termo designa aves da família dos Psittacidae (Psitacídeos).
Ordem: Aves
Família: Psittacidae (Psitacídeos)
Sub-gamília: Psittacinae
Gênero: Brotogeris spp.
Espécie: Brotogeris versicolorus chiriri (Vieillot, 1818). É uma subespécie do B. versicolorus (P.L.S. Muller, 1776), que pode ser encontrada também, como o nome de Psittacus versicolorus (Muller, 1776). Existem outras espécies como por exemplo, a B. chrysopterus (Tuipara-de-asa-laranja); B. sanctithomae (Tuipara-estrelinha); B. versicolorus (Periquito-de-asa-branca); B. viridissimus (Periquito-verde); B. tirica (Periquito-rei) entre outras.

geris versicolorus (Müller, 1776): periquito-de-asa-amarela; canary-winged parakeet
O colorido amarelo da asa, nas coberteiras superiores das rêmiges secundárias, e o amarelo-esverdeado da face ventral das rectrizes permitem a fácil identificação desta espécie. Apesar de ser menos abundante do que B. viridissimus, pode formar com ela bandos mistos. Nos E. U. da América do Norte, entre 1968 e 1974, houve importação de B. versicolorus, principalmente originários do Peru; alguns casais escaparam das gaiolas (ou foram soltos) e reproduziram-se na natureza, compondo atualmente bandos urbanos na Flórida, na Califórnia e em Porto Rico.
Alimentação: frutos, sementes, flores e néctar.
Nidificação: constroem o ninho em cavidades de árvores ou escavados em cupinzeiros arborícolas. Em áreas urbanas podem utilizar também os espaços sob telhas das edificações. Observações feitas em cativeiro mencionam 5 ovos brancos, medindo cerca de 23 x 19 mm e registram 26 dias para o tempo de incubação, que é tarefa da fêmea. Os filhotes deixam o ninho cerca de 8 semanas após o nascimento e são alimentados pelos pais com sementes e frutos regurgitados, mesmo após haverem abandonado o ninho.
Hábitat: campos com vegetação baixa e ilhas de matas intercaladas, bem como matas ciliares e cerradões.

This tiny parakeet is native to tropical South America but has been introduced to other areas including the USA. You can't see the yellow chevrons on its upperwings from this angle. They are only 20-25cm long, and often hang around in noisy groups. They nest in holes in trees and feed on seeds and fruit. I photographed this flying individual in Brazil's Pantanal.

Hoje não estava muito inspirada, então vai essa foto ~porquinha mesmo kkk!
Sabe quando dá na cabeça de fazer algo diferente? Me deu de usar preto! Tenho quase 2 anos de Flickr e acho que só pintei as unhas de preto umas duas vezes (pelo que tô lembrada).
Não que eu não goste de preto, pelo contrário, acho que fica muito bonito.. fica elegante! Mas é que eu tenho uma puta preguiça de esmalte escuro em geral. Acho muito chato de limpar, ainda mais que eu faço uma lambança em volta da unha! Acho que a seleção natural agiu, e me fez preferir esmaltes claros.. Isso explica meu amor por nudes e afins! hahaha :P
Mas então, me deu vontade de usar preto! Mas não SÓ preto até porque se fosse só preto, eu teria 10 unhas pra limpar D:. Daí lembrei desses adesivos, da Candy Acessórios, de chevron que comprei em Maio! E pronto :) Juntou o útil ao agradável!
A maioria das unhas que vejo assim, vejo com prata, mas sempre achei que preto combina muito com dourado! Gente, tô amando a unha *-* Ficou linda!
Usei:
1x base
- Dedão, indicador e mindinho: 2x Frankie (Monster High)
- Médio: 1x Fortuna (Blant) + 2x Gold Fever (Essence)
- Anelar: 2x Francesinha (Ellen Gold)
1x TC
Espero que gostem!! :) Beijos!!
The FIA Masters Historic Sports Car Championship is a series of Le Mans-style sports cars and Group 4 cars period from 1962 to 1974. FIA Masters Historic Sports Cars make for superb vision with the big bangers struggling with the sporty prototypes of engines Minors and GT cars. Chevrons take on Porsche, Lola and Ferrari, with Osella, Coldwell and Ford all represented on the ground-shaking grid. Classes are divided by engine size and year, and are named after the iconic names in sports car racing.
