The Barred Parakeet is a small, emerald-green parakeet known for the fine, dark barring across its back and wings, which gives it its common name. They are agile fliers, often found in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane and cloud forests from southern Mexico through Central America to the Andes of South America. Often found at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Look for small, fast-flying flocks high in the canopy. Listen for their soft, chattering calls. Patience is required as they blend well with foliage; look for movement and the subtle barring pattern.
When to spot
Most active during early morning and late afternoon foraging. They are resident birds, observable throughout the year.

Barred Parakeets are known for their unique sleeping posture, hanging upside down from branches like bats, which helps them stay camouflaged and avoid predators.
