The Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet is a small, predominantly green parrot with striking scarlet red patches on its shoulders. It is native to humid forests of South America.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests of northern South America (e.g., Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil).
How to spot
Look for small, fast-flying green birds in the canopy. The red shoulder patches are a key identifier when seen well. Listen for quiet, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Year-round, but local presence can vary with food resources. Most active in the morning.

This parrotlet often feeds on seeds and fruits of specific tree species, making its movements somewhat unpredictable as it follows seasonal food availability.
