Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A rather small green parakeet found in lowland and foothill open forests and forest edges. In protected areas of its range, it often frequents farm edges and rural villages. Male is unmistakable in its range; the plum-red head and lime-green body together are diagnostic. Female is duller but visibly smaller than most other long-tailed parakeets in the region, with a gray head; unlike the male Gray-headed Parakeet, she lacks a thin black collar.
