Cactus Parakeet

Eupsittula cactorum

Least Concern

The Cactus Parakeet is a slender, social parrot that feeds on seeds, fruit, flowers, and buds in woodland, forest edge, or dry scrub in northeastern Brazil. It usually nests in tree cavities or cliff holes and may make local movements as food trees fruit or flower. Fun fact: many parrots use strong hooked bills and zygodactyl feet together like a climbing-and-feeding toolkit.
