About The Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet

Touit huetii has a highly disjunct range in northern South America. It is known from south Venezuela, as well as the north-east of the country, with both populations considered rare and local, although it is often recorded along the Caño Colorado in east Monagas state (del Hoyo et al. 1997, Hilty 2003, Restall et al. 2006). There is a population in neighbouring Guyana and Suriname, also uncommon, whose range occasionally extends into Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago. It is local and rare in east Colombia. Another population is at its northernmost in east Ecuador, where again it is rare (del Hoyo et al. 1997, Restall et al. 2006). This range continues through east Peru through extreme west Brazil to north Bolivia. It also occurs within Amazonian Brazil, from Rio Aripuanã east to Rio Tocantins, with a single record from Manaus (del Hoyo et al. 1997).
