Uvea Parakeet

Cyanoramphus ulietanus

The Uvea Parakeet (Cyanoramphus ulietanus) is a small parrot species endemic to the island of Wallis in the South Pacific. It has a predominantly green plumage with a red forehead and blue streaks on the wings. These parakeets are known for their playful and social nature, often forming flocks and engaging in communal activities. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and vegetation found in the forested areas of the island. Due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species, the Uvea Parakeet faces conservation challenges, and efforts are underway to protect its remaining habitat and populations.

Habitat: Forest and woodland areas
