Riparian Parrotlet
Forpus crassirostris
Not EvaluatedThe Riparian Parrotlet is a small green parrot that moves through forest edges, scrub, and riverine growth for seeds, fruit, and tender plant material in western Amazonia. 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.
