Spotted
The Dusky-headed Parakeet is a medium-sized green parakeet characterized by a dusky grey head and neck, contrasting with its vibrant green body. It is widespread in the Amazon basin.
Where to spot
Tropical lowland humid forests, forest edges, and along rivers in the western Amazon basin of South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil).
How to spot
Look for them in the canopy of tall trees or at visible clay licks. Listen for their screeching, often repetitive calls, which are a good clue to their presence.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon when foraging and visiting clay licks.

These parakeets often feed on clay licks (colpas), especially in the western Amazon, to supplement their diet with essential minerals and neutralize toxins from unripe fruits.
