Appearance
The tui parakeet is a fairly small green parrot with slightly darker wings, and a medium to short, rather wedge-shaped tail. It has a yellow forehead-spot, a relatively dark reddish-dusky bill, a complete white eye ring, and dull yellowish or whitish irises. The eastern subspecies, "B. s. takatsukasae", has a small yellow post-ocular spot, which the western nominate subspecies usually lacks.
Habitat
It is restricted to várzea and other wooded habitats near water. It is rare or entirely absent away from large rivers.References:
