Balaparya: Analogous Structures

Blue and Gold Macaw (ara ararauna) found at  42.065518,-71.585748 

African Grey Parrot (Pisittacus erithacus) found at  42.065518,-71.585748 
 Both of the birds above have wings to allow them to fly. They also have similar shaped beaks which help them break the appropriate seeds that they consume.

The Blood Red Parrot Cichlid (amphilophus citrinellus) found at  42.314035,-71.571554 

The Albino Tiger Oscar Cichlid (astronotus ocellatus) found at   42.314035,-71.571554 
Both of the fish above have analogous structures. They both have ventral and dorsal fins so help them balance and turn in the water as they are swimming.
