How to spot
Males are easily identified by their brilliant turquoise and red colors. Females are duller but still attractive. Listen for their soft, tinkling calls when feeding or their high-pitched flight calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging on the ground for seeds. Most visible during early morning and late afternoon. Resident species.
