Cotorras de Río Grande

Río Grande Parrots

League: Betances.
Division: El Yunque.
Nicknames: Cotos, Pajaritos, Multicolores, La Bandada.
Vivas: “¡Vuela cotorra!”

The most colorful team in the Liga Nacional derives its name from the most famous example of the island’s tropical fauna and flora, whose variety and brilliance of color are regrettably a rarer sight in Río Grande’s famous national parks than in past decades.

Mascot: Lorocuaz

(loro “parrot” + locuaz “talkative”)

You'll probably hear Lorocuaz, the mascot of the Cotorras de Río Grande, long before you see it. It's a big green parrot, whose wingtips are yellow—except the tailfeathers, where there's red. It's got an orange beak, with a red comb over it, and yellow eyes, and orange talons that it will absolutely use to hold you in place so it can finish its sentence.
