Spotted
The Amazonian Parrotlet is a tiny, predominantly green parrotlet found in the humid tropical forests of northern South America. Its small size and bright green plumage allow it to blend seamlessly into the dense canopy.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests and mature secondary growth in the Guianas, southern Venezuela, and northern Brazil. It prefers the upper and mid-canopy.
How to spot
Listen for their faint, high-pitched calls. Use binoculars to scan dense foliage for movement. They are often found feeding quietly within fruiting trees, making patience crucial for observation.
When to spot
Best seen during the early morning and late afternoon when foraging for fruits and seeds. Active year-round.

The Amazonian Parrotlet is one of the smallest parrot species in the world, making it particularly challenging to spot amidst the foliage, a true 'needle in a haystack' for birdwatchers.
