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.
Turquoise-fronted Amazon
The turquoise-fronted amazon is one of the most popular pet parrots in the world, prized for its ability to mimic human speech and its engaging personality. In the wild, these sociable parrots roost communally in large flocks and fly in pairs to feeding sites at dawn. Habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade threaten wild populations.
