Green-cheeked Parakeet song and calls

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

Song

Not known for a distinct 'song' in the traditional sense. Their vocalizations are a series of chattering, squeaky, and sometimes harsh calls.

Calls

Common calls include high-pitched, rapid 'scree-scree-scree' or 'kree-kree-kree' notes, often given in flight or when alarmed. They also produce softer chattering and twittering sounds when feeding or interacting within the flock. Calls are generally less piercing than many other conure species.

When they vocalize

Most vocal during flight, when foraging, and during social interactions within the flock, particularly in the morning and evening.
