Spotted
The Riparian Parrotlet is a small, predominantly green parrotlet from the Amazon basin, closely related to the Blue-winged Parrotlet. Males have blue on the rump and wing coverts.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests, particularly along rivers and in várzea (flooded) forests, in the western and central Amazon basin.
How to spot
Look for its small size and the blue patches on the male's wings and rump. Listen for their high-pitched, chirpy calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen in small flocks feeding in trees. It is a resident.
Riparian Parrotlets are often associated with riverine habitats, nesting in tree cavities along watercourses, which is crucial for their survival.
