The white-breasted parakeet (Pyrrhura albipectus) or white-necked parakeet, is a Vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found in southern Ecuador and possibly in adjacent northern Peru.
The white-breasted parakeet is monotypic. The white-breasted parakeet is 24 to 25.5 cm (9.4 to 10 in) long and weighs 83 to 110 g (2.9 to 3.9 oz). The sexes are the same. Adults have a thin reddish brown band just above the bill and are brownish from forehead to hindcrown; the crown feathers have gray edges. Their cheeks are green with yellow giving a scaly appearance and their ear coverts are orange. A wide white collar surrounds their neck and the rest of their upperparts are green. Their breast is yellow and the rest of their underparts are green with a rusty tone on the belly. Their wing is mostly green with red primary coverts and dark bluish primaries. The upper side of their tail is dull reddish with a green base and the underside dusky with reddish tips to the feathers. Their bill is blackish and their iris is dark with bare white or whitish skin surrounding it. Immature... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-necked Parakeet sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 250 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 81st most-seen of the 446 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-necked Parakeet in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-necked Parakeet sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Podocarpus National Park, in our data
Podocarpus National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-necked Parakeet sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Psittacidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-necked Parakeet is recorded against all the birds logged in Podocarpus National Park (250 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.
