- Pyrrhura pfrimeri
Identification
Distribution
Taxonomy
Papers by Fabio Olmos et al. (1997) and Joseph (2000) independently recommended that Pfrimer’s Parakeet be considered a species, separate from White-eared Parakeet Pyrrhura leucotis, on the basis of geographical variation in plumage, morphometry, habitat requirements and biogeography. Prior to these papers it was treated as a race of the White-eared Parakeet. (See external links below)
Habitat
Deciduous forest.
Behaviour
They are reported to eat seeds, fruits, berries and nuts.
