Pyrrhura picta subandina
(Todd, 1917) – 21 cm.. Has the face bright brownish-red; the forecrown blue and dull red; Scalloped yellow and gray in the chest. Share with other species Pyrrhura a long tail red, the primaries blue and patch belly dark red. The zone of carpus is green, Unlike the red color Pyrrhura picta caeruleiceps which it is the closest geographically.
Habitat:
They inhabit in humid forests of mainland and borders, seasonally flooded forests (várzea), and on the slopes of tepuyes.
They travel in flocks with quick flights.
Reproduction:
The breeding season It is between the months of December and February. Nest in hollow trees or old abandoned nests of woodpeckers.
Food:
They feed on, to a large extent, of fruit of Goupia glabra, Bagassa guianensis, Trema micrantha, Heisteria spruceana, Zanthoxylum, flowers and seeds.
Distribution:
Size of its range (Play / residents): 1.560.000 km2
The Painted Parakeet It is located in northeast South America, distributed south of Orinoco, in Venezuela, eastward through Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and the state of Amapá in the North of Brazil (pit et to the. 1997).
In the states of amazon and western and southern Bolívar, in Venezuela They can be observed, mainly, on the slopes of the tepuyes, while further east inhabit the lowlands.

• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Least concern.
• Population trend: Decreasing.
Justification of the Red List of the Category
The Painted Parakeet has a range very large, and therefore does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion. While the trend of the population seems to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be rapid enough to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (> 30% decrease of more than ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but are not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable based on population size criteria (<10.000 individuos maduros con una disminución continua estima en> 10% in ten years or three generations, or a specific population structure). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least concern.
Justification of the population
The world population It has not been quantified, due to recent taxonomic divisions.
Justification trend
This species is suspected that there may be lost 6,5-7,3% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (18 years) based on a deforestation model of the Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the . 2006, Bird et to the . 2011). Given the susceptibility of this species to hunting and / or entrapment, It is suspected that it will fall in <25% en tres generaciones.
