Unknown small parrot

I am unsure of the species of this bird, but it looks like a small parrot. From the looks of it, its been through a lot of stress as it plucked most of its own feathers. Luckily this refugee center will give this beauty a good retirement.

It must have seen a lot of nasty stuff, to lose its feathers and even colour like that. Good that you sponsor the parrot park, Ferdy!

  Thanks for referring to the sponsorship image, Ludo. Although I did pay for it, I really see it as payment by the community. The more all of us share here, the more gets donated.
  
  Obviously the next target is 5,000 photos. But I'll make a small mid-term donation when we reach 1,000 species as well. 31 species to go.... Posted 13 years ago

It could be a Green-cheeked Conure (Pyrrhura molinae). Do you have the rest of it to see if it matches?

    The tail should be red and there are a few colour variations, I think it's the right one. Posted 11 years ago
