Cyanoliseus patagonus

Least Concern

About

Un loro terrestre único de Argentina y Chile que excava madrigueras en acantilados empinados y riberas — una estrategia de nidificación muy inusual entre los loros — los loros barranqueros forman grandes y ruidosas colonias en hábitats de acantilados patagónicos. Se alimentan de semillas y pastos en paisajes abiertos y áridos. Las poblaciones están declinando en algunas regiones debido al control de plagas agrícolas y la conversión de hábitats.
