Red-fronted Parakeet

Cyanoramphus zealandicus

The Red-fronted Parakeet, scientifically known as Cyanoramphus zealandicus, is a small to medium-sized parakeet native to New Zealand. It has a predominantly green plumage with a vibrant red patch on its forehead, giving it a distinctive appearance. These parakeets are known for their playful and social nature, often forming flocks and engaging in acrobatic flight displays. They are primarily arboreal and are commonly found in native forests and coastal areas. Their diet consists of fruits, seeds, and nectar. The Red-fronted Parakeet is considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a stable population and a wide distribution range across New Zealand.
