The Ouvea Parakeet is a critically endangered parrot species endemic to Ouvéa Island, New Caledonia. It is a predominantly green parakeet, closely related to the Horned Parakeet but lacking its distinctive 'horns.'
Where to spot
Restricted to the island of Ouvéa, New Caledonia, found in lowland forests, coconut plantations, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for its plain green plumage, lacking the 'horns' of its close relative. Listen for its distinctive chirping and chattering calls. Its rarity makes any sighting significant.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging. Due to its critically endangered status, observations are usually managed by conservation projects. Most active in mornings and late afternoons.
