How to spot
Look for the combination of its green body, blue head, and the unmistakable racquet-tipped tail, especially in flight. Listen for its loud, screeching calls that can carry through the forest.
When to spot
Most active during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging for fruits and seeds. They are resident within their limited range.
