Where to spot

How to spot
Look for its small size, bright green plumage, and the subtle blackish markings on its face. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid calls that are often difficult to pinpoint in the dense canopy.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often observed in small groups quietly foraging in fruiting trees. Best seen in early morning and late afternoon.
