A Blue-winged Parrot showcases his namesake blue wing patch while perched on a weathered branch. The bird's soft green plumage contrasts beautifully with the striking blue and yellow of its forehead and blue on the wing. Males and females of this species are similar in appearance, although males have brighter colors, and females have a white band on their underwing. The species is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with the population declining due to habitat loss and predation by introduced predatory mammals.
