Habitat:
Video – "Golden-winged Parakeet" (Brotogeris chrysoptera)
It inhabits in humid forest and savannah, more common to 300 meters although it has reported to them 1200 m. You in groups small of 8 to 16 individuals not reproductive time, It is common to see more than 100 consuming fruits in the canopy. Noisy when flying and silent when they feed on.
Reproduction:
Nest on trees, in hollows and termite mounds. Breeding season in November, February and April.
Food:
With feeds of the nectar of the flowers, fruit, figs, berries and seeds.
Distribution:
Size of the distribution (reproduction / resident): 3.110.000 km2
Its population is distributed between the East of Venezuela, Guyanas, Center and East of the Brazilian Amazon.
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Least concern.
• Population trend: Decreasing.
Justification of the population
The size of the world population It has not been quantified, but this species is described as «common» (Stotz et to the., 1996).
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost 20,7-24,8% of habitat suitable within their distribution during three generations (15 years), on the basis of a model of Amazon deforestation (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). So, It is suspected that will decrease in <25% durante tres generaciones.

The female perhaps duller below, with lateral feathers tail greener and green tips and margins. Immature not described.
The subspecies Touit surdus chryseurus it has been proposed to birds of northeastern range on the basis of dubious lateral tail feathers more brownish and smaller.
Touit surdus chryseurus
(Swainson, 1823) – Side tail feathers, brown / yellow; smaller.
They live mainly in evergreen forests lowland, although occasionally they extend to the adjacent lower mountain slopes. Birds have been observed in the canopy of a secondary forest fragment surrounded by open fields; Other reports suggest that birds visit fruiting trees in deforested areas to feed.
You can visit, occasionally, cocoa plantations where trees shade the crop plants, but this has not been tested. They are to 700 m in Alagoas and to 800 m in Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The Brown-backed Parrotlet They seem to live in flocks (mainly 6-12), perhaps you composed of family groups.
Recent observations suggest that this species is resistant habitat alteration.
Reproduction:
The reproduction of this species practically is not registered. A female observed in September Alagoas, He was not in breeding condition.
Food:
Foods reported in feed Brown-backed Parrotlet are fruits Spondias lutea and Rapanea schwackeana
Distribution:
Size of its range (breeding/resident ): 1.680.000 km2
The distribution of the Brown-backed Parrotlet It extends through Atlantic forests of eastern Brazil, including coastal areas of the northeastern states of Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas with a record Camocim in the North of Ceará, where there are fragments of humid forest in coastal areas.
They seem to be distributed at low densities and (except a report in the lower basin tiete river in Sao Paulo) It was considered a rare species in the nineteenth century. Like other members of the genus is, without a doubt, ave a difficult to observe, and often overlooked. But, many ancient villages are no longer inhabited, with forests completely eliminated or severely degraded lowland, especially in the north of the mountain range, where you can be almost extinct.

Rationale for the Red List category
This species is classified as Vulnerable because its population is small and declining rapidly due to continuous deforestation. It has been found that it is more resistant to forest fragmentation of what was thought first, and may be sub-registered instead of actually little, especially in the southern part of its range.
Justification of the population
The species is generally rare; Its population is located in the band 2.500-9.999 mature individuals, equivalent to 3.750-14.999 individuals, rounded here to 3.500-15.000 individuals.
Justification of trend
rapid and continuous population decline is suspected on the basis of continuous destruction and fragmentation of habitat.

Both sexes are similar. Immature with little or no blue in primary coverts.
The Plain Parakeet They are experts in the art of adaptation; They can be found in a wider range of habitats than any other endemic parrot Brazilian Atlantic forest: in the lowlands and highlands, in the forest canopy and forest edges, parks and gardens (for example, of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo), farmland with trees, scattered patches of forest and secondary growth. Apparently more numerous in the forest edge habitats. Generally observed in the lowlands, but reported to 1.200 metres in the Itatiaia National Park on the border between the state of Río and São Paulo. Gregaria. Generally seen in pairs or small groups, although sometimes you can see several hundred birds together.
It is the most common parrot in São Paulo, where you can find even in the slums of the city.
Reproduction:
Observed in arboreal termite nests, in the crowns of Palmas or natural openings of trees; in the city of São Paulo nest in crevices of buildings and roofs, regularly using the balconies to feed.
The breeding season It has been recorded in September; observed immature in January. The clutch common in captivity is four eggs. They stay together for life.
Some seasonal movements. Uncommon to fairly common depending on locality, but apparently only reported very common in the city of Sao Paulo. Its population has declined in the Eastern European settlement Brazil, although less than other endemic parrots in the region. Live in several areas protected (for example, Itatiaia National Park).

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" by 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.
