Rufous-fronted Parakeet

Bolborhynchus ferrugineifrons

The Rufous-fronted Parakeet (Bolborhynchus ferrugineifrons) is a small parakeet found in the Andes of South America. It has a predominantly green plumage with a distinctive rufous forehead and crown. These social birds are often found in small flocks and are known for their playful and inquisitive nature. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, and vegetation. Their high-pitched calls can often be heard as they forage in the cloud forests and montane woodlands of their habitat. Despite being relatively common in some areas, habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade are potential threats to their populations.

Habitat: Cloud forests and montane woodlands
