The Amazonian Parrotlet(Nannopsittaca dachilleae) has pointed wings, something square tail. Distinguishable from this species is the forehead and Crown with blue dye, feet and pink Bill, area naked clear around the eye. Usually green body on the back, and more yellowish belly.
Common and abundant in riparian forest, until the 300 m. Possibly associated with the guadua. They fly low over rivers in small, compact flocks of 3 to 12 individuals.
Seen climbing on trees.
They are presumed to nest in clumps of bromeliads or other epiphytes..
Calls are described as acute, they sound very similar to the chicks of birds of farm.
Distribution:
It is found in the western part of the Amazon basin, from southern and southeastern Peru to northwestern Bolivia. Probably West of Brazil.
It is a scarce bird that rarely has photographed. The conservation of the rainforest is crucial to their survival. There are many threats to the ecosystem of the Amazonian Parrotlet, harvesting the Guaua bamboo, the Habitat fragmentation and pollution.
Conservation:
According to the IUCN categories it is considered as Near Threatened. (NT). Deforestation, mainly for colonization, logging and mining, affect their populations.

The Tepui Parrotlet(Nannopsittaca panychlora) measured between 14 and 15,7 cm.. height. Small size, with wings sharp and tail cut and wedge.
The head It is green with yellow tinge oliváceo; the eye area is yellow, color extending below and behind the eyes. The upperparts they are green (brighter and less than oliváceo head). Upperwing-coverts green. Flight feathers blackish green tipped primary, brownish opaque below; INFRACA-wing coverts green. The underparts yellowish green turn yellow-green in the undertail-coverts. Upper, the tail is green; undertail, yellower. Bill grey; cere grey; Bello to singr dark gray; irises brown; legs Rosaceae.
Both sexes are similar; the female has the forecrown Off-white to yellowish.
They inhabit moist montane forests. in tropical and subtropical highlands, sometimes in the rainforest of the lowlands around tepuyes, generally 750-1,850 m (Gran Sabana), although they observed at the top of Auyantepui to 2,200 meters and near the summit Monte Roraima A 2,200 m; to 750-950 metres in Sucre.
Can reproduce in subtropical and tropical zone descend to feed. Recent records in the view of birds in the lowlands suggest at least seasonal aparienciones at lower altitudes. Fly very high, fast and straight, in compact flocks of 6 to 150 individuals. It´s resident but it shows seasonal migrations.
Reproduction:
Sleeps and nests in Tepuis. Not much more information about the reproduction of this species in the wild.
Food:
In their natural habitats, the Tepui Parrotlet normally eat fruits, seeds and small insects.
Distribution:
Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 486.000 km2
Mainly montana, It is distributed in several scattered populations in eastern Venezuela and the adjacent area of ​​western Guyana; concentrated in Gran Sabana from the east of Bolívar in Venezuela (for example, Montes Roraima and Auyantepui); It is also present around the meseta del Duida and the lowlands of Ventauri River, amazon, and in the West of Guyana from the area Camaran River; a more distant population occupies the Paria Peninsula (for example, the Monte Papelón), Sucre, to the northeast of Venezuela. Probably you can be observed at the north end of Roraima, Brazil.
Apparently locally common and stable, but perhaps it diminished in Paria peninsula due to large-scale deforestation. Much of the range is included in Canaima National Park.
Conservation:
State of conservation ⓘ
Minor Concern ⓘ(UICN)ⓘ
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Least concern.
• Population trend: Stable.
Justification of the population
The size of the world population It has not been quantified, but this species is described as “quite common, but unevenly distributed” (Stotz et to the., 1996).
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost 6,9-11,6% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (15 years) starting from a model of deforestation Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). Given the susceptibility of the species to hunting and / or capture, It is suspected that its population decline by <25% during three generations.
"Tepui Parrotlet" in captivity:
Breeding in captivity outside of South America. It is intelligent, quiet and very sociable.
Can normally live about 20 years.
