Pacific Parakeet

Psittacara strenuus

Least Concern

The Pacific Parakeet is a slender, social parrot that feeds on seeds, fruit, flowers, and buds in woodland, forest edge, or dry scrub in Central America. 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.
