Description 2 subspecies:
-
Pyrilia barrabandi aurantiigena
(Gyldenstolpe, 1951) – Lesser coverts, curve of the wing and the thighs intense Orange instead of yellow-orange.
-
Pyrilia barrabandi barrabandi
(Kuhl, 1820) – Nominal.
Habitat:
They inhabit mainly in lowland forests, apparently less frequently in forests and marshes. They are distributed at the edge of forests and partially disturbed forest, occasionally in small groves in deforested areas. Observed in altitudes of 150-300 metres in Venezuela and 500 meters in the southeast of Colombia. Seen individually, in pairs and in small groups of up to 10 individuals (sometimes more in banks of land rich in minerals). Are activated more early, In the morning, than other parrots and will rest later.
Reproduction:
There is no information about the nesting, but that suggests the registration of immature birds in February and March breeding season It can be between the months of September/October until the end of year.
Food:
Observed taking seeds or fruits of Ficus sphenophylla, Pourouma, Pseudolmedia, Mimosa, Pithecellobium and Heisteria and possibly larvae of the gall wasps. Usually, they feed in the canopy of the trees, or just below them; less frequently in low branches. Regularly visit areas with mineral-rich soil in the company of other species of parrots.
Distribution:
Size of the area of distribution(reproduction / resident): 3.470.000 km2
This is a kind of basin of the Western Amazon and the Alto Orinoco. Its length extends from the southeast of Colombia, from the Caquetá Western and bass inirida river, Guainia, until Venezuela in amazon and the Center and South of Bolívar and in Brazil in the upper part of the Amazon to the West, from the rivers Negro and Madeira through the rivers Juruá and Purus and to the South towards Mato Grosso, through the East of Ecuador and East of Peru and to the Northwest of Bolivia, in hand me.
They are generally considered rare throughout its distribution area, Although they are fairly common in the Northwest of Bolivia and many in the sandy Woods of bass Inirida River, to the southeast of Colombia. Its population has fallen locally due to deforestation, Although large tracts of primary forest remain in all range States. Live in several areas protected.
Distribution 2 subspecies:
-
Pyrilia barrabandi aurantiigena
(Gyldenstolpe, 1951) – Is located in the East of Ecuador and to the East of Peru, where is this in the Manu National Park. In the North of Bolivia is it described as frequent to numerous. The extension also comes to Brazil: is limited by the Amazon in the North and Rio Madeira from the East (pit et to the., 1997).

Pyrilia barrabandi barrabandi
(Kuhl, 1820) – Nominal.
Conservation:
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Almost threatened.
• Population trend: Stable.
Justification of the population
The size of the world population It has not been quantified, but this species is described as «Rare» (Stotz et to the., 1996).
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost 12.1-15% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (21 years) based on a model of Amazon deforestation (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). Given the susceptibility of the species to the fragmentation and degradation of forest and potentially your hunting and/or trapping, It is suspected that its population will decrease at a rate close to the 30% during three generations.
Threats
The main threat This species is the acceleration of the deforestation on amazon basin with large tracts of land used for livestock and soybean production; It is highly susceptible to degradation and fragmentation due to its dependence of primary forests (Soares-Filho et to the. 2006, Bird et to the. 2011, A. Lees in litt. 2011). It can also be vulnerable to the hunt (A. Lees in litt. 2011). The changes proposed by the Forest code of Brazil reduce the percentage of land that a private owner is legally required to maintain as forest and include an amnesty for owners who deforested before July 2008 (who would later be acquitted of the need to reforest illegally cleared land) (Bird et to the. 2011).
