The scarlet-fronted parakeet (Psittacara wagleri), known in aviculture as the scarlet-fronted conure, red-fronted conure, or Wagler's conure, is a Near Threatened species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela.
The scarlet-fronted parakeet was for a time placed in the genus Aratinga but from about 2013 has been in its present genus Psittacara. Its taxonomy is otherwise unsettled. The IOC, HBW, and Clements treat them as the two subspecies of the cordilleran parakeet (P. frontatus).
This article follows the two-subspecies model. The scarlet-fronted parakeet is 34 to 40 cm (13 to 16 in) long and weighs 162 to 217 g (5.7 to 7.7 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults are generally green... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet-fronted Parakeet sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 130 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 53rd most-seen of the 358 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scarlet-fronted 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.

Of the 4 parks where we can rate Scarlet-fronted Parakeet sightings, Henri Pittier National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Farallones de Cali National Natural Park (Colombia, about 10%) and Los Nevados National Natural Park (Colombia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scarlet-fronted Parakeet is recorded against all the birds logged in Henri Pittier National Park (130 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
