Saffron-headed Parrot

The saffron-headed parrot is 22 to 24 cm (8.7 to 9.4 in) long. Adults have an almost entirely yellow head and neck. They have a ring of bare white skin around their eye; brown feathers are around it and on their lores and nares, and a red wash is behind the eye. Their breast is olive that continues as a thin line around the back of the neck. Most of the rest of their body is green, with yellow shoulders, red carpals and flanks, and yellow lower thighs. Their primaries are blackish and their tail feathers have dusky blue tips. Immature birds have green heads, shoulders, and carpals. Voice: The saffron-headed parrot's most common calls are "a shrieking "cureek" or "queek" " that are made both from a perch and in flight. It also "utters piercing, hoarse-sounding calls" from perches.
