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.

Colonial Pine

<em>Araucaria cunninghamii</em>, the colonial pine or hoop pine, is a large coniferous tree in the ancient family Araucariaceae, native to Australia and also cultivated or naturalised in India, Libya, and South Africa. This species inhabits temperate and boreal forests at higher elevations, where it often forms a prominent emergent layer in subtropical and tropical rainforest communities in Queensland and New Guinea. Hoop pine is one of Australia's most commercially important softwood timber species, valued for its straight grain, durability, and workability. Trees can grow to considerable heights, with tall trunks characterised by horizontally spreading branch whorls that give the species a distinctive silhouette. <em>Araucaria cunninghamii</em> is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. The genus <em>Araucaria</em> has ancient origins, with fossil records extending to the Jurassic period, making it a living relic of Gondwanan flora. Seeds of hoop pine are consumed by birds and other fauna in its native range, contributing to limited seed dispersal. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
