중형 마코앵무로 멕시코 남부에서 볼리비아와 브라질에 이르는 중앙 및 남아메리카 열대 우림에 서식하며, 밤색 이마, 붉은 어깨 반점, 청색 날개 깃털을 가진 주로 녹색 깃털이 특징이다. 진정한 마코앵무 중 가장 작은 종으로, 산림 가장자리, 사바나, 2차 삼림에 서식하며 종종 농작물을 습격해 지역 농민들에게 인기가 없다. 인기 있는 사육용 새이지만, 야생 개체군은 포획과 삼림 벌채로 인한 압박을 받고 있다.

Colombian Oldfield Mouse

<em>Thomasomys dispar</em>, commonly known as the Colombian Oldfield Mouse, is a small rodent species belonging to the genus <em>Thomasomys</em> within the family Cricetidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient, indicating that insufficient information is currently available to evaluate its conservation status with confidence. It has been documented in Colombia, where it inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments. Members of the genus <em>Thomasomys</em> are typically associated with high-altitude Andean habitats, including páramo grasslands, shrublands, and montane forest edges, where they occupy ground-level microhabitats and burrow in soft soils. These mice are generally omnivorous, consuming seeds, plant material, and invertebrates, though specific dietary data for <em>Thomasomys dispar</em> have not been recorded. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The Data Deficient classification highlights the need for targeted surveys in Colombian Andean regions to determine population size, distribution, and the ecological requirements of this poorly known rodent.
