*“pH E bill of this bird is grey : the plumage wholly green, except
a light yellow Ipot on the wings, and another on the
tail coverts : legs grey.
• Thefe two laft do not feem to differ lb much in the f t ml. as in Baffin's
defcription i both have a pale red bill; both a red fpot on the chin, though
paleft in S37. In this laft too there is an a Ill-coloured fpot on the upper edge
o f the wing ; but in neither is there a broad cheftnut band on the wing; as mentioned
in rhe firft. Mom. The figure in 190 has the tail feathers even, and that
in 837 feem pointed at the ends.
This
This is common at Guiana, efpecially towards Oyapoc and the
Amazons river. It is eafily kept tame, and fpeaks pretty well. Its
natural voice is like the fqueaking of Punch in a puppet-fhew; but
when taught to articulate, is always chattering. The vernacular
name is Sofove.
