Young Brazilian And His Parrot Editorial Photo

A young brazilian smiles from the window of his wooden house. A Mealy Parrot is perched on his finger. The picture was taken on a river island of Amazon river. During the dry season these islands are colonized by farmers, who cultivate their fertile soil, and then abandoned again during rainy season, as these islands can be swept away by the huge river floods. The young person in the picture is a farmer who had settled his house on an island about 5 miles far from Manaus.
