Distribution of the parrot
It is an endemic species of cerrado, but not from Brazil. It has a wide distribution occurring from the south of Piauí / Maranhão, passing through the midwest states such as Tocantins, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul to the North of São Paulo and Bolivia. Its habitat is in the cerrado, cerradão, caatinga, gallery forests, and buritizais.
Physical characteristics of the parrot
The parrot is at risk of extinction due to the increasing scarcity of savanna areas in Brazil, which have been systematically cleared for monocultures. The loss of habitat due to the expansion of agriculture and cultivated pastures, mainly in the savannas of the surrounding highlands and edges of the Pantanal, represent serious threats to this parrot.
The species is not one of the most commercially targeted for smuggling, because it is among those that do not speak much, however, their plumage is very beautiful.
It is a very shy species and does not easily learn to speak like the true parrot. It is considered very aloof when it detects the presence of any individual, flies, and lands in places of difficult access. These parrots measure between 25 to 27 centimeters in length and weigh around 300 grams, have a light green plumage, with yellow belly and head, and the beak is curved pink with a dark horn-colored spot
Puffin feeding
They consume fruits, seeds, and flowers present in their habitat. The most consumed vegetable species of the bird are Pequi, Leucena, Pau-terra, and Sucupira. They also consume clay and tree bark.
Yellow-faced parrot reproduction
They are monogamous birds, and the Yellow-faced parrot nests in crevices, natural holes in the trees and also uses abandoned termite mounds. The female of the parrot lays about 2 to 4 eggs, incubated for about 28 days. After birth, the baby parrot will be treated by both parents, until it can live alone. It is a bird not used to captivity, so its reproduction is a little complicated.
