Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Chunky medium-sized parrot with a long tail, bright green plumage with slightly yellower underparts, and a red forehead and eyeline. Some blue in the flight feathers most visible in flight. Uncommon and local; found in remnant patches of higher-quality habitat and often encountered feeding on the seeds of casuarinas. Calls relatively high-pitched and nasal, higher-pitched than the calls of Horned Parakeet.
