Usually views in small flocks and, sometimes in mixed groups with the Golden-winged Parakeet and Painted Parakeet. Larger family groups have been reported previously. They have often been seen descending into rivers and streams to bathe and drink..
Reproduction:
With reproduce between August and November, probably in April and June, They nest in tree cavities. Incubation period: 24-25 days.
The put in captivity is of 3-9 eggs, being 5 the average.

Reported foods include catkins Cecropia, small fruits of Trema micrantha, fruits of the ficus, Eugenia and Zanthoxylum, and flowers of Bertholletia excelsa and Dioclea glabra.
Distribution:
They can be found in Brazil, in the area of the great South-Central amazon basin, in West For and in the western area of amazon, in the river basins Madeira and South of the Tapajós, to the extreme north of Mato Grosso, Rivers Roosevelt and Aripuanã.
Observed in adjacent parts of Bolivia and probably widely distributed east of Rio Mamoré in hand me and Santa Cruz.

• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable
• Population trend: Stable
Justification of the population:
The size of the world's population has not been quantified, but this species is described as “quite common” (Stotz et to the., 1996).
Justification of trend:
It is suspected that this species has lost 23-30.3% of habitat within its distribution area for three generations (18 years), based on a model of Amazon deforestation (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). Given the susceptibility of species the hunting and capture, they suspected that the population of Crimson-bellied Parakeet will decrease by ≥ 30% during three generations.
"Crimson-bellied Parakeet" in captivity:
Not very common in captivity. Its diet ideal would be based on fruits such as: apples, Pears, oranges, bananas, grenades, cactus fruits , which form the 30 percent of their food, vegetables, such as: carrots, celery, green beans, pea in the pod, fresh corn, green leaves, such as: chard, lettuce, dandelion, chickweed, healer, millet; a mixture of seeds as such: Canary Islands, small amounts of wheat and millet, oats, safflower and hemp, Sunflower, cooked beans and legumes and cooked corn.
