Spotted
The Slender-billed Parakeet is a striking, predominantly green parakeet distinguished by its elongated, slender upper mandible, adapted for feeding on specific seeds. It is endemic to Chile.
Where to spot
Araucaria and Nothofagus forests, as well as agricultural areas, in central and southern Chile.
How to spot
Focus on areas with Araucaria trees. Look for them feeding in flocks, often descending to the ground to forage. Their distinct calls are a key indicator of their presence.
When to spot
Year-round, but easier to spot when they are actively foraging in mature forests, particularly during spring and summer.

Its unusually long, slender bill is a specialized tool used to extract seeds from pine cones, particularly those of the Araucaria tree.
