Green-rumped Parrotlet

Forpus passerinus

The Green-rumped Parrotlet is a small, vibrant parrot species native to South America. These social birds are known for their playful and energetic nature, often forming tight-knit flocks in their natural habitat. They have bright green plumage with a distinctive blue streak on their wings and a yellowish-green rump. Their diet consists of various seeds, fruits, and vegetation. Green-rumped Parrotlets are commonly found in tropical and subtropical forests, as well as savannas and agricultural areas. Despite being relatively common in the wild, habitat loss and capture for the pet trade pose potential threats to their populations.
