Parrotlet Green Rumped basic information

Green-rumped Parrotlets are the smallest of the parrotlet family, growing to between three and a half to four and a half inches in length. Usually, they weigh between 18 and 28 grams. These charming little birds have pink feet and beaks. At maturity, Green-rumped Parrotlets have green rumps! Males show blue and turquoise coloration over their wings, while females are made unique by a sunbeam splash of yellow between their eyes. The majority of the Green-rumped Parrotlet consists of yellow-green feathering. These little birds are extremely bright in color, although they may have gray-tinged green over the backs of their necks. The green coloring will be lighter on the bird's underside, face, lower back and rump. Green-rumped Parrotlets have dark brown irises. Contrary to the name, there is a subspecies of Green-rumped Parrotlet, which exhibits blue-washed coloration over its rump!
