Luchs's parakeet

Myiopsitta luchsi

Luchs's parakeet (Myiopsitta luchsi) is a small parrot species native to the subtropical forests of South America. These parakeets are known for their vibrant green plumage and distinctive red markings on their wings. They are highly social birds, often seen in large flocks, and are known for their playful and inquisitive nature. Luchs's parakeets primarily feed on fruits, seeds, and vegetation, and are important seed dispersers in their native habitat. Due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, they are facing increasing threats to their population.
