Barred Parakeet

One of the smallest New World parrots, barred parakeets inhabit humid montane forests of Central and South America from southern Mexico to western Ecuador at elevations of 1,200–3,000 meters. Their distinctive black-barred plumage on a green background provides excellent canopy camouflage. They form small flocks foraging on seeds and berries, often in bamboo stands. Quiet and unobtrusive for parrots, they remain little studied in the wild and are kept by some aviculturists.
