White-winged Parakeet (Brotogeris versicolurus)
About the White-winged Parakeet
The white-winged parakeet (Brotogeris versicolurus), or canary-winged parakeet is a small parrot native to the Amazon River basin from southeast Colombia to the rivers mouth in Brazil. Caged birds have been released and the birds have established self-sustaining populations in Lima, Peru, Los Angeles, and Miami, Florida areas of the United States, and in Puerto Rico. They were also present in San Francisco, California until the mid-2000s. Although feral birds are showing some recent declines as nesters in the United States, they seem to be doing well in their native habitat.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 32 recordings for this species: 14 CC BY-NC-SA · 3 CC BY-NC-ND · 1 CC BY-NC. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
