cotorra

El loro coronipurpureo (Pionus tumultuosus) es un loro Pionus de tamano mediano que habita los bosques nubosos altoandinos de Peru y Bolivia. Muestra un plumaje de la coronilla de color purpura violaceo con mejillas blancas y cuerpo verde. Se encuentra entre los 2.400 y 4.000 metros de altitud en bosque montano humedo cercano al limite del arbolado, lo que lo convierte en una de las especies de Pionus de mayor altitud. Viaja en pequenas bandadas que forrajean semillas, bayas y flores. Relativamente poco conocido en cautividad; sus poblaciones silvestres se consideran de Preocupacion Menor.
