Note:
This parrot was initially believed to be an immature of the species Vulturine Parrot(Pyrilia vulturina) due to the orange color head calva. But, when it was discovered that individuals were sexually mature, He described as a new species. In fact, the youth of both species have feathers head greenish, unlike adults.
Formerly, It was included in the genus Pionopsitta.
Sound of the Bald Parrot.
Habitat:
Seen in gallery forest and in forest ‘campinarana‘ (on white sand soils). This region is threatened by logging (Gaban-Lima et al., 2002).
viewed individually, in pairs or small flocks of up to 10 birds. It is most active during the early morning that other parrots, and before going to sleep. It stays in the upper canopy where it is well camouflaged.
Reproduction:
The breeding season possibly either during September; little is known about their breeding habits.
Food:
Feeds of seeds, fruits and possibly larvae of gall wasps (Cynipidae).
Distribution:
Size of its range (breeding/resident): 407.000 km2
The Bald Parrot They are known only in some locations covering the lower basin of Madeira river and the upper basin of Tapajos River in the Brazil Amazon, more specifically in the Sรฃo Benedito river (Field observations) and Cururu-acu River, both tributaries on the right bank of the river Teles Pires, himself a tributary of Tapajรณs.
There are several recent records of this new species from the micro-region of Madeira in the vicinity of Borba.
Since the species is currently known only from Two types of habitat and a relatively small area, it is unlikely that the population is much higher 10.000 individuals, so it is considered that it is near-threatened. It is likely to occur more records now that has been formally recognized as a species, and this may clarify its exact state.
Conservation:
โข Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Near-threatened.
โข Population trend: Decreasing.
Population size: 6.700 specimens.
Rationale for the Red List category
This species has recently described a moderately small population is declining due to loss of habitat. So, it is classified as near threatened.
Justification of the population
The population is preliminarily estimated with a number of at least 10.000 individuals, approximately equivalent to 6.700 mature individuals. This requires confirmation.
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost 8,8-13,1% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (21 years) starting from a model of deforestation Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). So, you suspect your decrease in population <25% durante tres generaciones.

Description 3 subspecies:
Birds of Bay islands often they treated as parvipes, not as caribaea. Some copies of Guatemalan Pacific show forecrown yellow, but apparently not consistent racial difference.
(Lousada, 1989) – Similar to the subespecie parvipes but with olive below and bill paler colored horn (especially lower jaw). usually adults patch yellow triangular in front of the crown. Young birds show little yellow in the head wave nape.
Amazona auropalliata parvipes
(Monroe,BL Jr & Howell,TR, 1966) – Less than nominal species, with red feathers on the curve wing
, otherwise similar.
The Yellow-naped Parrot inhabits semiarid forests, arid scrubland and savannas (including those of Pinus), openings in deciduous tropical forests and swamps peaceful, evergreen gallery forests and, sometimes, second growth in agricultural areas. Observed to 600 metres in Guatemala and a 700 metres in Honduras. Usually in pairs or small groups, sometimes in larger meetings, but the decline of the population may now obscures large flocks in some areas. They meet at communal roosts.
Reproduction:
Monรณgama; It maintains the union of couples throughout the year. It nests in natural cavities in trees, such as holes in old trunks or dead, including pines Nicaragua and Bay islands. breeding season in February Oaxaca and El Salvador; March Roatan. Clutch 2-3 eggs.
In captivity cycle nesting of the Yellow-naped Parrot complete with 29 days of incubation eggs, followed by two months increase of the young in the nest.
Size of its range (breeding/resident): 580.000 km2
The Yellow-naped Parrot It is confined to Central America. They are distributed in the lowlands Eastern Pacific of Mexico (Oaxaca and Chiapas), Guatemala (a sample taken in Petรฉn but his status there is uncertain), El Salvador (arid lowland tropical zone), Honduras and Nicaragua, to the Northwest of Costa Rica from the south end of Gulf of Nicoya northward. They can also be seen in the Caribbean slope of Honduras and in the Mosquito Coast from Honduras, as well as in the neighboring area of โโnortheast Nicaragua. found in Roatan and Guanaja, in the Bay islands but absent in Utila.
Resident. Apparently uncommon in Oaxaca and rare and declining in Costa Rica. Birds observed in the Sula Valley, Honduras, previously attributed to this species but now included within the species Yellow-headed Parrot.
Formerly common and locally abundant, but probably now declining throughout its entire range due to conversion of habitat for agricultural uses and its capture for trade local and international. Not yet considered endangered, but its long-term status is uncertain if its population decline continues.
Although Guanaja reasonable numbers remain, the species inhabiting the Bay islands (caribaea), It is in serious decline due to capture for export (practically 100% of hatchlings are caught each year); also at risk from tourism development, especially in Roatan.
Distribution 3 subspecies:
Amazona auropalliata auropalliata
(Lesson,PA, 1842) – Nominal. Pacific Coast of Central America, from Oaxaca, Mexico, to the Northwest of Costa Rica.
โข Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable.
โข Population trend: Decreasing.
โข Population size : 20000-49999.
Rationale for the Red List category
This species has been uploaded to Vulnerable because information on levels exploitation and habitat loss, and trends of the local population, They suggest that the species is suffering at least one rapid population decline. In fact, the rate of decline can be very rapid; However, Additional data are needed to confirm this, in which case the species may qualify for elevation In danger of extinction.
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 individuals on freedom.
Justification of trend
It is suspected that the population is in rapid decline due to the continuous habitat destruction and unsustainable levels of hunting, a suspicion that is supported by the observations of trends of the local population.

The Yellow-naped Parrot in captivity:
The populations of the Amazon nuquigualda have suffered strong pressure by national and international trade (Ridgely, 1981, Iรฑigo- Elias and Ramos, 1992). There is now an illegal heavy traffic this species, both for domestic and international trade, Parrot's being seized in the Mexico-Texas border, with 648 copies confiscated during 1990-1993 (Gobbi, et to the., 1996).

taxonomic history
Confusing taxonomic history: until recently known as Pyrrhura perlata, but that name is actually applied to the known way long as Pyrrhura rhodogaster, currently a synonym for the species Pyrrhura perlata; the current species therefore assumes his next oldest name, Pyrrhura lepida. Forms a pair of species with parapatric Pyrrhura perlata, with which it is sometimes considered conspecific; the recent molecular phylogeny indicated that the closest relatives of these two are the Pyrrhura frontalis and Pyrrhura molinae.
Sound of the Pearly Parakeet.
Description 3 subspecies:
Pyrrhura lepida anerythra
(Neumann, 1927) – Similar to the species nominal but with the chest, the belly and cheeks green with occasional shades of blue.
Pyrrhura lepida coerulescens
(Neumann, 1927) – Similar to the species nominal, but with the forecrown and crown brown, gray throat and upper chest, green on the upper cheeks; bluer in the lower chest
The Pearly Parakeet, usually, inhabits moist terra firme forests. The species has been observed in forest edges, clear areas and second growth.
They are seen in flocks of up to ten birds, particularly in places where food is plentiful.
Reproduction:
They nest hollow logs. The laying is of 3-4 eggs incubados during 23 days; the hatchling needs close to 7 weeks for independence.
Food:
probably catkins, small fruits and flowers.
Distribution and status:
Size of its range (breeding/resident): 585.000 km2
The Cotorra Pulcra is endemic to Northeast Brazil, to the South of the Amazonia. Observed around the basin Xingรบ and its tributaries, from the Pracui River and the left bank of Tocantins River, and from Belem and the Capim River, in For, east to around Sao Luis in maranhรฃo, and from northern maranhรฃo to the East of Rosary, although apparently no longer in some coastal areas, where according to sources, They were formerly quite common.
Today are rare and extinct in many parts of their former range (for example, North of maranhรฃo) due to large-scale deforestation, although they are, apparently, tolerant habitat alterations.
The coerulescens subspecies It is near extinction due to the almost total loss of their habitat. The species is found in protected areas but its integrity is compromised by the illegal logging.
Pyrrhura lepida is the new name of the taxon Pyrrhura perlata, whose name has been shown to be applied first to an immature bird of that species, Crimson-bellied Parakeet(Pyrrhura perlata).

Vulnerable โ(UICN)โ
โข Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable.
โข Population trend: Decreasing.
โข Population size : 6700 individuals.
Rationale for the Red List category
From a model of future deforestation in the Amazon basin, While shows some tolerance degraded landscapes, It suspected that the population of this species decline rapidly over the next three generations and, therefore, It has risen to Vulnerable.
Justification of the population
The population is preliminarily estimated at the number of at least 10.000 individuals, approximately equivalent to 6.700 mature individuals. This requires confirmation.
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost between 47 and the 64,5% of habitat suitable within their distribution during three generations (18 years) starting from a model of deforestation Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the ., 2006, Bird et to the ., 2011). But, because the species seems to have some degree of tolerance to habitat degradation (A. Lees in litt ., 2011), It suspected to decline by 30-49% during three generations.
Threats
Despite an apparent tolerance of some degradation of the habitat, It is perhaps close to extinction in coastal areas of northern maranhรฃo, due to the large scale deforestation (Juniper and Parr, 1998). They are distributed within protected areas, but its integrity is compromised by the illegal logging (Juniper and Parr 1998). Deforestation in the Amazon basin is expected to increase as land is cleared for cattle ranching and soy production, provided by the expansion of the road network (Soares-Filho et to the. , 2006). The proposed changes to Brazilian Forest Code reduce the percentage of land that a private owner is legally required to keep as forest and include an amnesty for owners who deforested before July 2008 (That they would later be absolved of the need to reforest the illegally cleared land) (Bird et to the., 2011).
Conservation Actions Underway
CITES Appendix II. The species is classified as Vulnerable nationally in Brazil (MMA 2014), with subspecies elegant and coerulescens considered in Danger(Silveira y Straube 2008).
Conservation Actions Proposed
* Census and population monitoring to assess the world's population and demographic trends and refine distribution and locate strengths.
* Investigate its ecology, threats and conservation requirements. Strengthen the network of protected areas within the remaining core habitat.
Effectively manage resources and management of existing protected areas and new, using the emerging opportunities for funding the management of protected areas with the overall goal of reducing carbon emissions and maximize the conservation of biodiversity. It is also essential conservation on private land, through the expansion of market pressures for proper land management and prevention of deforestation on land not suitable for agriculture (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006).
Campaign against proposed changes to the Brazilian Forest Code that would lead to a decrease in the width of protected riparian forest areas as Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs), that function as vital corridors in fragmented landscapes.

The Mascarene parrot โ (Mascarinus mascarin) It was a bird dark grayish brown on top, lighter at the bottom; the the tail feathers They were brown with white bases; head lavender gray; lores and area around the bill black. had the bill bright red. The legs They were reddish brown and eyes red.
taxonomy:
A genetic study of 2011 He placed the Mascarene Parrot of Meeting between subspecies of Black Parrot (Coracopsis nigra) of Madagascar and nearby islands, and therefore would not be related to the parrots of Psittacula as believed. It was found that the lineage of Mascarene Parrot It separated made between 4,6 and 9 millions of years, before the formation of the isla Meeting, indicating that it must have happened somewhere else
Habitat:
Nothing is known, although it is likely to be distributed in uninhabited forests where feed on fruits and nuts.
Reproduction:
No data.
Food:
Probably fruits and nuts.
Distribution:
The Mascarene Parrot It was described by many early travelers to Reunion Island (in France), with several captive birds sent to France at the end of the 18th century.
The last accounts of wild birds were from the 1980s. 1770, and the birds were not mentioned by Bory a 1804, so the species may well have been extinct in the wild by then. captive birds in Paris they would also have died at that time, but one bird survived in the collection of birds king Bavaria at least 1834 (checks 1987). Two specimens survive today (Forshaw and Cooper 1989)
Conservation:
โข Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Extinct.

The extinct Macquarie Parakeet(Cyanoramphus erythrotis) was a medium-sized green parrot. The head was bright green with pileum and a line in the eyes crimson red. The upperparts They were bright yellow-green to dark green with a scarlet stain on either side of the rump (usually they are hidden by the wings when resting), and a greenish-blue leading edge to the wings. The eyes They were yellow or red, and the bill It was black with a base Pearly. Both sexes looked similar, but the female It was smaller (Forshaw & Cooper 1981; Higgins 1999; Oliver 1955)
Taxonomic status:
This taxon is considered a subspecies of Cyanoramphus [novaezelandiae, erythrotis, subflavescens] (sensu lato) by some authors
Lives in "Perico de Macquarie":
The Macquarie Parakeet inhabited coastal grasslands tussock in the subantarctic Isla Macquarie (Forshaw & Cooper 1981; Taylor 1979).
Reproduction:
It is known nesting in grasslands without trees.
Food ยซPerico de Macquarieยป:
Little is known about the diet of the Macquarie Parakeet, but it is said that feed on crustaceans and other small invertebrates (Oliver 1955; Taylor 1979).
It was Earth (Forshaw & Cooper 1981) and it is said to have been foraged on the seashore, taking invertebrates fused cell algae on the beach (Oliver 1955; Taylor 1979).
Distribution ยซPerico de Macquarieยป:
The Macquarie Parakeet It was an endemic parrot Isla Macquarie, one sub-Antarctic island in the Antartic Ocean which is politically part of TasmaniaAustralia. The island and this species were discovered in 1810, time when this parakeet was still very common. The last sighting of the Perico de la Isla Macquarie was in 1891.
Conservation Cyanoramphus erythrotis:
โข Current category of the Red List of the UICN: EXTINCT.
Although hard Macquarie Parakeet They were adjusted well to inhospitable terrestrial environment Macquarie Island, They did not survive the predatory introduced species.
The extinction of the Macquarie Parakeet It was caused by the introduction of exotic predators, like cats, rabbits, mice and rats boat. He was also prey to rascรณn weka or the rascรณn of Lord Howe(Gallirallus australis). This robust flightless bird from New Zealand It was introduced on the island in the mid-nineteenth century as food for sealers, the same hunters killed large numbers of Macquarie's Parakeets (Macquarie Island) to feed. Unfortunately, the wekas They have caused considerable damage to endangered species, as they feed on small birds, Native insects and lizards.
The last sighting of live parrots occurred in 1891
Threat Reduction and Recovery
Translocation program may be suitable for the reintroduction of Norfolk Island Parakeet(Cyanoramphus cookii) on Isla Macquarie. Although programs have been tested for translocation failed Norfolk Island Parakeet(Garnett & Crowley 2000; Hermes et al. 1986), Similar programs have been successful for this parakeet in New Zealand. These programs have been successful with only 15 birds, Bottlenecks causing genetic programs with less than 150 birds. The low success of the pups in the breeding program New Zealand It may be the result of inbreeding depression or poor design of nests (Oritz-Cathedral & Brunton 2008).
The programs of eradication They are underway in Isla Macquarie. The cats were eradicated in 2002, the Keep(Gallirallus australis) in 1988 and is ongoing eradication program rats, rabbits and mice (Mouse muscle)(it. PWS 2009).

Vulnerable โ(UICN)โ
According to the IUCN categories it is considered as Vulnerable (VU). Habitat degradation and trade are adversely affecting the population.
The ban on the capture and trade has improved the status of this species. The rate of decline was very rapid in the Decade of 1980, Although at present has been reduced and even stabilized. But, the population is still very small, with records in very few places, and as a result, according to the IUCN categories, qualified as vulnerable.
