ID tip
The Andean parakeet is 16 to 17 cm (6.3 to 6.7 in) long and weighs 48 to 50 g (1.7 to 1.8 oz). It is rather plump with a short tail. Adults are almost entirely green, with a yellow tinge from the face to the belly that is brightest on the throat and upper breast. The outer webs of their primaries are teal, sometimes approaching violet. Their bill is grayish and their legs dull pink. Juveniles do not have the yellow tinge but are otherwise the same as adults. Voice: The Andean parakeet's usual call is "a short (irregularly overslurred) dull note, typically given in chuckling pairs or triplets "juh-juh-juh", or a much longer chattering series."
