Plain Parakeet
Brotogeris tirica
The plain parakeet is 23 to 25 cm (9.1 to 9.8 in) long and weighs about 63 g (2.2 oz). Adults have an essentially all green body, though their nape has a bluish tinge and their undersides have a yellowish one. Their shoulder is bronzy or brownish green and their flight feathers and the underside of their tail are bluish green. Their bill is pinkish with a paler base. Immature birds are similar to adults but with less blue in the wings and a shorter tail. The population in São Paulo state has many individuals with a blue mutation. Voice: The plain parakeet's calls include "a rather high-pitched shrill "cree" or bisyllabic "cra-creep", and a lower-pitched, harsh-sounding "cra-cra-cra"" that are given both from a perch and in flight. Members of a flock often call simultaneously.

Yellow-chevroned Parakeet
Brotogeris chiriri
The bird is 20–25 cm in length, and is mostly light green in color. It has a trailing yellow edge on its folded wings, which is also seen when the bird is in flight. It was considered conspecific with the white-winged parakeet until 1997. Wild birds primarily use disturbed forests and forest clearings around settlements. They rarely use deep tropical forests.
