As you can see, the "chicos"
can be friendly and will sometimes visit
with guests, especially if you have something good to share with them.

This picture was taken
in the lobby area of the
Tambopata lodge. One of the researchers was kind enough to show us
this
tree boa. |

Here is one of the "chicos"
hanging out in the lodge at Tambopata Research Center. These birds are
the "second" chicks in the nest that usually do not survive. The TRC
researchers have handfed and released these birds and, over time, many
of them have found wild mates and are raising chicks nearby. |
