Field Notes
Description:

Habitat:
Habitat and distribution in Costa Rica
Crimson-fronted Parakeets occur in semi-open areas and edge of humid forest
Notes:
Crimson-fronted Parakeets are a long-tailed parakeet species with red underwings and a red front. The red front and underwings can be hard to see in flight but the long, pointed tail stands out. This feature helps separate the Crimson-fronted from the smaller, shorter-tailed Orange-chinned Parakeet
Behavior in Costa Rica
Like many parakeet species, the Crimson-fronted in Costa Rica is typically seen in pairs. If a third bird is present, it is probably a young bird flying with its parents. Crimson-fronted Parakeets are strong, fast flying birds and are most often seen (and heard) as they zip overhead, screeching the whole time.
