Lineolated Parakeet song and calls

Birdsong and calls are often the easiest way to identify the Lineolated Parakeet, especially when the bird is hidden in dense foliage. Below is what to listen for.

Song

Does not have a complex song. Vocalizations are generally soft and chattering.

Calls

Common calls include soft, rolling 'chatter-chatter-chatter' notes, often given in flight or while foraging. They also emit a short, sharp 'chip' or 'tsit' call, and a more drawn-out, slightly buzzy 'scree' when alarmed or excited. Their vocalizations are generally much quieter and less piercing than many other parrot species.

When they vocalize

Most vocal during foraging and in flight, particularly in the morning and evening.
