We can ID this Parakeet as a Yellow-chevroned Parakeet as follows:
- Overall green
- Yellow edge on its folded wing. This Parakeet is very similar to the White-winged Parakeet, but the White-winged Parakeet has a longer yellow and white edge on the folded wing, which extents almost to the tail.
- Pinkish tinge to bill
The Yellow-chevroned Parakeet is native to tropical South America south of the Amazon River basin from central Brazil to southern Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Released and escaped birds have established feral populations in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles and San Francisco, California.
The Yellow-chevroned Parakeet is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 1,013.
