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.
