Spotted
The Blue-bellied Parrot is a beautiful and distinctively colored medium-sized parrot endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Males feature a striking blue belly, which gives the species its name.
Where to spot
Humid Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, particularly in primary and mature secondary forests. It is often found in the canopy.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, resonant calls, which are quite distinct. Look for it feeding quietly in fruiting trees. The male's blue belly is a clear identification mark, but can be hard to see in dense foliage.
When to spot
Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when actively feeding. It is a resident species.

The Blue-bellied Parrot is a specialist feeder, relying heavily on the fruits of specific palm trees, which makes its survival tied to the health of its forest habitat.
