ID tip
Voice: Spectacled parrotlets are able to differentiate between social companions and adapt their calls to mimic the call of the bird they are communicating with. Specific calls are used when communicating with other birds. These calls are sometimes described as "names." Calls can range between tweeting, chirping or buzzing sounds, depending on the information being relayed.
