Justification trend:
The population suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.
"Canary-winged Parakeet" in captivity:
Years ago it was a very common bird in captivity, at the present time is less.
RECALLS: NEVER COMMAND A PARAKEET IN THE CITY OR IN THE FIELD
aggressive with other bird species. However, It is possible to keep a group of birds of this species together in a large enough space. Easy of tame If it is manipulated from small. Communicates with their owners, making different sounds, for example, to greet us when we see, When you want food, etc.
They are not usually very noisy. Like to climb by what shall provide elements so you can make this activity. In hot season, supplied with a tray of water so that you can bathe.

The Yellow-chevroned parakeet(Brotogeris chiriri) has a plumage, in general, bright green; the underparts They are of a paler green and lower coverts are yellowish-green.
The wings They are of a slightly darker green, with the yellow border, visible when wings remain bent or when the bird is in flight. Their bill, hook-shaped, is orange-brown and legs and feet, pinkish gray. The eye rings They are creamy white and eyes dark browns.
It is intimately related to the Canary-winged Parakeet(Brotogeris versicolurus). In fact, it was considered conspécifica (owned or belonging to the same species) until 1997.
The females sexually dimorphic and are not to be sexed, either surgically or by DNA.
The immature are similar to adults but have the tail shorter and the bill It is a darker brown.
Taxonomic note:
Until 1997, some taxonomists considered the Canary-winged Parakeet and Yellow-chevroned parakeet belonging to the same species. Even though the Yellow-chevroned parakeet It has the same secondary covert yellow feathers that can be seen in the Canary-winged Parakeet – no white in the primary wing feathers.
They are mainly below 1000 m, locally up 2500 meters in a variety of habitats including humid forests, seasonal and coastal, Pantanal, savannah and city parks. reported to 2500 meters in arid areas.
Usually, traveling in flocks; in such small groups as 2 to 4 birds, but they have been observed to 20. They are described as small parrots assets, entertaining to watch.
Reproduction:
Nest usually in the cavities of trees or in tree termite nests. They also form nesting tunnels in dead palm fronds..
Once a nest It has been located and correctly “prepared” the couple, It is performed the laying, between 4 and 5 eggs. after breeding, the Yellow-chevroned parakeet they form large communal huts until the next breeding season.
Food:
In their natural habitats, feed of seeds (including outbreaks), fruit as berries and figs and flowers. Also consume nectar, insects and their larvae. Often they are seen visiting barreiros (areas where there is soil rich in minerals) and the banks of the rivers to feed on the soil.
Distribution:
Size of its range (breeding/resident ): 5,670,000 km2
Distributed inside East Brazil to the East of Bolivia, Paraguay and North of Argentina, in Formosa, Chaco, Missions and North of Currents. Introduced populations in Miami, Florida and California.
Distribution 2 subspecies:
Brotogeris chiriri behni
(Neumann, 1931) – Center of Bolivia to the Northwest of Argentina, in Salta.
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Least concern.
• Population trend: Stable.
Rationale for the Red List category
This species has a extremely large range and, therefore, it does not approach the thresholds of vulnerability under the criteria of size range (Extension <20,000 km2 combinada con un tamaño de rango decreciente o fluctuante, extensión / calidad de hábitat o tamaño de población y un pequeño número De lugares o fragmentación severa). La demographic trend appears to be stable and, therefore, the species does not approach the thresholds Vulnerable under the criteria of population trend (> 30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to be close to the thresholds for Vulnerable under the criterion of population size (<10.000 individuos maduros con un descenso continuo estimado> 10% in ten years or three generations or a population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as the least concern.
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
They suspected that the population is stable in absence of evidence of any decline or threatens substantial.
"Yellow-chevroned parakeet" in captivity:
Today is Rare.
Since the late sixties to mid-seventies, more than 260.000 these were parakeets imported from South America for the pet trade. At that moment, the Yellow-chevroned parakeet It was the most imported parrot. They settled in California (Los Angeles, San Francisco) self-sustaining populations Yellow-chevroned parakeet released or escapes; populations also in Florida (Miami), as well as Connecticut and New York City.
The Chirirí Kitten appears to be better suited to its adopted habitat than its closely related cousin., the the Canary-winged Parakeet(Brotogeris versicolurus).
The Canary-winged Parakeet It has declined considerably since the early 80, while the Yellow-chevroned parakeet It has established itself in different habitats.
In 2002, the population of Yellow-chevroned parakeet in the area of Los Angeles, California It was estimated at 400 individuals. In the Florida, They have prospered more than any other place in the United States – there have been huge flocks, several hundred of them. The species is also quite established in the city center Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which he was also introduced.

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.

Upper, the tail is green; undertail, duller. Bill and cere pale grayish; bare periophthalmic grey; irises dark brown; legs pink.
Female all green. Immature as female, with some blue feathers on the rump and in the wing-coverts, in the case of young male.
Two subspecies. But, some authorities regarded the northern birds range as a third subspecies (Forpus cyanopygius pallidus), doubtfully distinct from the nominees. See also Note on Blue-winged Parrotlet(Forpus xanthopterygius).
(Ridgway, 1888) – Larger, with the gray-green. The male It has darker markings and turquoises bill darker.
Habitat:
The habitat of the Mexican Parrotlet They are gallery forests and deciduous forests, plantations, scrub, semiarid open field and trees cultivated areas; mainly observed in lowlands and foothills with the highest number of records in the south of Sonora to 360-455 m; at higher altitudes in western Durango and Zacatecas, with upper limit to 1.320 m.
Birds in breeding abilities have been observed above the 900 meters indicating possible breeding at higher altitudes. Gregaria, forming flocks 4-30 or more, sometimes in the company of Orange-fronted Parakeet(Eupsittula canicularis).
Reproduction:
breeding season may July. Clutch three eggs in captivity.
Food:
Little information about diet or creation: birds observed taking fruits the Ficus, berries and grass seed soil.
Distribution and status:
Size of its range (breeding/resident): 177.000 km2
Its range extends eastward Durango and Zacatecas. irregular population with widely fluctuating local abundance, perhaps in relation to the availability of local foods. There has been a large-scale modification of habitats within range but the species remain common (at least locally). The birds in the Tres Marias Island Perhaps they are in risk of extinction.
Distribution 2 subspecies:
Forpus cyanopygius cyanopygius
(Souance, 1856) – Subspecies nominal. shed peaceful of Mexico from Sinaloa until Colima.
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Near-threatened.
• Population trend: In decline.
Rationale for the Red List category
The species has risen to near threatened because its population has probably been reduced to a rate close to 30% during three generations (12 years), depending on the estimated operating levels and reducing the area of ​​occupancy and extent of occurrence; almost meet the listing requirements as threatened under the criteria A2cd + 3cd + 4cd. If the declinations are found to exceed the 30% then the species would qualify to lift to Vulnerable. If there is evidence suggesting that the global population of this species is <10.000 mature individuals, and it is suffering a steady decline in> 10% in three generations (until 100 years in the future), would also qualify to lift Vulnerable.
Justification of the population
Partners in Flight estimated that the population in number of less than 50.000 individuals (A. Punjabi in some. 2008), so it is placed in the band 20.000 to 49.999 copies here.
Justification of trend
It is suspected that the population is declining rapidly due to moderately heavy pressure from his capture by illegal trade (Cantu et al ., 2007, Marín-Togo et al ., 2012). According to reports, the population of the island Three Marias It has decreased (Collar y Bushman 2014).
Threats
The capture for trade in wild birds It poses a serious threat to a 8.000 individuals illegally caught per year (Cantu et al ., 2007). The range of the species is within one of the main routes for the illegal trade of parrots in Mexico and it is thought that the heavy exploitation of the species is an important factor in their apparent absence of suitable habitat areas.
Conservation actions and research in progress
CITES Appendix II.
Conservation and research actions proposed
Implement legislation to prevent illegal trade. Raise awareness of the species.
"Mexican Parrotlet" in captivity:
Quite frequently seen in aviculture.
Capture for trade in wild birds represents a serious threat to a 8.000 individuals illegally caught per year.
In captivity is not a very long-lived bird; according to sources a specimen lived 10,5 years in captivity.
Each captive specimen of this species which is capable of reproducing, should be placed in a well-managed captive breeding program and not be sold as a pet, in order to ensure its long-term survival.

Eye ring white; their bill yellowish; eyes dark brown.
The female with the tail totally green. The only thing different in the females is that the lateral feathers of their tail are green / yellow with black tips.
It inhabits in humid jungles (in the canopy), semi-humid and forest edges, until the 400 m (locally until the 1200 m). Fly in large flocks, migrates in high Amazonia, perhaps following the fruiting of some kind of plants.
The species is apparently Nomad, bird rarely found in the same area for little more than a few weeks.

The Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet It has a very disjunct range in northern South America. It is known from southern Venezuela, as well as the northeast of the country, with both populations considered rare and local, although often it recorded along the Caño Colorado east of the state Monagas (pit et to the., 1997, Hilty 2003, Restall et al., 2006).
There is a population in neighboring Guyana, Suriname and North of Brazil in Roraima and the northern states of amazon, extending at least occasionally in Trinidad*, Trinidad and Tobago.
Records Trinidad, in 1974, 1975 and 1980, probably correspond to wandering flocks (pit et to the., 1997).
It is a local and rare species in eastern Colombia. Another is the northernmost town in eastern Ecuador, where it is again rare (Del Hoyo et al., 1997, Restall et al., 2006). This strip continues to the east of Peru, through the west end of Brazil north of Bolivia. They can also be seen in brazilian amazon, from Rondônia east to west maranhão, with one record Manaus (pit et to the., 1997).

Vulnerable ⓘ(UICN)ⓘ
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable.
• Population trend: Stable.
Rationale for the Red List category
Based on a model of future deforestation in the amazon basin and its susceptibility to hunting and habitat fragmentation, It is suspected that population of this species will decrease rapidly during the next three generations and, therefore, It has risen to Vulnerable.
Justification of the population
The population size World has not been quantified, but this species is described as “uncommon and patchily distributed” (Stotz et to the., 1996).
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost 24,4-28,8% 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 entrapping, It is suspected that population of this species will decrease by ≥ 30% during three generations.
