The Green-rumped Parrotlet is a common and widespread tiny parrotlet found in northern South America and the Caribbean, distinguished by its green rump (lacking blue in males).
Where to spot
Northern South America, including northern Brazil, the Guianas, Venezuela, and Colombia, as well as Trinidad and Tobago. Inhabits open woodlands, savannas, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its very small size and the lack of blue on the rump (unlike other parrotlets). Listen for their high-pitched, soft 'chip' or 'tsit' calls.
When to spot
Easily observed throughout the day, particularly when feeding in small flocks. It is a resident.
