White-eyed Parakeet

Psittacara leucophthalmus

The White-eyed Parakeet, also known as the White-eyed Conure, is a medium-sized parrot native to South America. It is characterized by its predominantly green plumage, white eye-ring, and red patches on the wings. These social birds are often found in flocks, feeding on fruits, seeds, and nuts. They are known for their playful and inquisitive nature, making them popular pets. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of forested habitats, including tropical and subtropical forests, as well as savannas and agricultural areas. While their populations are currently stable, habitat loss and capture for the pet trade pose potential threats to their future survival.
