Blaze-winged Parakeet

The blaze-winged parakeet is 25 to 26 cm (9.8 to 10 in) long. The sexes are the same. Adults have a brownish crown and reddish brown ear coverts; the rest of their face is yellowish green. Their upperparts are green. Their chin, the sides of their neck, and their breast are yellowish green; brown feather edges give a scaly appearance. The center of their belly is maroon and the rest of their underparts are the same green as their upperparts. Their wing is mostly green, with blue primaries, a red carpal area, and red and yellow underwing coverts. Voice: The blaze-winged parakeet's most common call is "a series of rather high-pitched shrill notes, e.g. "krree krree krree" ", which it makes both from a perch and in flight. However, perched birds are often silent. Flocks in flight "call frequently and simultaneously, producing a noisy, harsh and piercing chattering."
