Grey-cheeked parakeets or Orange-winged Parakeets (Brotogeris pyrrhopterus) are endemic to Ecuador and Peru west of the Andes. Grey cheeks are sometimes referred to as Pocket parrots, orange-winged or orange flanked parrots. During the 1970's until 1992 huge numbers of these birds were imported into the United States. Importation stopped suddenly when a federal bill was passed. Still during those years these birds were very popular. Indeed, they were on the list of the ten most popular birds. More

Grey-cheeked Parakeet (Brotogeris pyrrhopterus) Grey cheeks are also known as orange-flanked parakeets, orange-winged parakeets, and pocket parrots. They can be quickly distinguished from other Brotogeris by the bright orange-colored patches on the underwing coverts. When the wings are held against the body, only a small bit of the orange can be seen peeking over the tops of the grey cheek's shoulders. The main color is a bright green, but paler on underparts.
