The Grey-hooded Parakeet is a medium-sized parakeet found in the high Andes of South America, identifiable by its grey head and olive-green body. They are adapted to arid and semi-arid montane environments.
Where to spot
High-altitude dry montane forests, scrublands, and open areas with scattered trees in the Andes of Bolivia and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for flocks foraging on the ground or perched on low shrubs. Their calls are typically soft, chattering notes. The grey hood is a key identification feature distinguishing it from other parakeets.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often foraging in groups. They are residents year-round in their habitat.
