The grey-hooded parakeet (Psilopsiagon aymara), also known as the Aymara parakeet or Sierra parakeet, is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is found in northwestern Argentina and Bolivia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.
The grey-hooded parakeet is a small, slender parakeet growing to a length of about 20 cm (8 in). The upper parts are green and the flanks and underwing coverts are greenish-yellow. The forehead and crown are brownish-grey, and the chin, throat and breast are whitish-grey, sometimes with a bluish tinge at the side of the breast. The belly is green with a bluish tinge. The upper side of the long, narrow, pointed tail is green and the underside is grey. The beak is flesh-coloured, the iris is brown and the legs and feet are brownish-grey. The sexes are similar in appearance, but the male often has a more vivid grey breast, and immature birds have shorter tails.
The grey-hooded parakeet is native to the eastern Andes of Bolivia and northern Argentina, as well as the sierras de Córdoba. It is a bird of arid shrubby or wooded habitats, wooded ravines, and dense shrubby areas... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-hooded Parakeet sighting in Mendoza on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 69 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-hooded Parakeet in Mendoza on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and September–April, the lowest months. Those are among Mendoza's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gray-hooded Parakeet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Gray-hooded Parakeet sightings, Mendoza ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in La Paz (Bolivia, about 30%) and Cochabamba (Bolivia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray-hooded Parakeet is recorded against all the birds logged in Mendoza (10 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
