Red-crowned Parakeet
Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae
Voice: Red-crowned parakeets can be recognised by their soft, musical, chattering calls. These vocalisations are stronger and lower-pitched than the yellow-crowned parakeet's. During flight and take off, they also emit a ki-ki-ki-ki-ki or kek-kik-kek sound.
