Spotted
This diminutive parrot is found in the Andes of South America, distinguished by its green plumage and a prominent scarlet patch on its wings. It typically inhabits cloud forests at mid to high elevations.
Where to spot
Subtropical and temperate cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from Colombia to Peru. They prefer humid montane forests.
How to spot
Listen for their high-pitched, chattering calls, which often precede their appearance. Scan the mid to upper canopy for small green birds, and look for the red wing patch as they fly.
When to spot
Best seen in the morning or late afternoon when foraging. They are present throughout the year in their range.

The Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet often forms small, fast-moving flocks, making them appear and disappear quickly within the dense forest canopy, a challenge for observers.
