The Yellow-chevroned Parakeet is a common and widespread small green parakeet characterized by a distinctive yellow 'chevron' pattern on its inner wing. It is found across a wide range of open and semi-open habitats.
Where to spot
Central and eastern South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. Inhabits open woodlands, savannas, agricultural areas, and urban parks.
How to spot
Listen for their characteristic loud, scratchy calls. Look for the yellow patch on the inner wing as they fly, which distinguishes them from similar species. Often found in noisy flocks.
When to spot
Easily seen throughout the day, especially during foraging or when flying between roosting sites. It is active year-round.
