About These Birds
Black-capped Parakeet
The Black-capped Parakeet is a medium-sized, green parakeet of southwestern Amazonian forests in Peru and Bolivia, with a distinctive blackish cap, scaly appearance on the breast, and maroon tail. It inhabits lowland tropical forests and forest edges, foraging in the canopy for seeds, fruits, and berries. It is social, moving in small to medium-sized noisy flocks through the forest.
