The Golden-winged Parakeet is a small green parakeet from the Guianas and northern Brazil, characterized by its bright yellow patches on the bend of its wing and under the wing.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests, forest edges, and savannas in the Guianas, Venezuela, and northern Brazil. They prefer the forest canopy.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive high-pitched, metallic calls. Scan the upper canopy for small green birds. The yellow wing patches are the key identification feature, especially in flight.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk when foraging. Can be seen throughout the day. It is a resident species.

Golden-winged Parakeets often forage quietly in the canopy, making them harder to spot despite their bright markings, though their calls can give them away.
