green parrot

Verdant talking pet

A green parrot is any of numerous parrot species with predominantly green plumage—the most common coloration among parrots worldwide.

The term is descriptive rather than taxonomic, covering birds from Amazon parrots to parakeets to ring-necked parrots: A green parrot landed on the balcony railing.

In casual speech, someone might say "green parrot" when they can't identify the specific species.
