Spotted
This attractive parrot is characterized by its bright saffron-yellow head and green body. It is found in the humid forests of northern South America.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests from eastern Panama through Colombia and Venezuela. It prefers the upper canopy of primary and mature secondary forests.
How to spot
Look for the bright yellow head which contrasts with the green body. Listen for its soft, often indistinct calls. Patience is key as they can be very quiet and elusive.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. It is present year-round.

The Saffron-headed Parrot often moves silently through the canopy while foraging, making it a challenging bird to observe despite its bright head.
