The Amazonian Parrotlet, Nannopsittaca dachilleae, is a recently described native parrot of the western Amazon basin, and can be found from southern Peru to northwest Bolivia. Its habitat is the lowland forests near bamboo and rivers. It's stocky like a tiny Amazon parrot. Mainly green, it has powder-blue lores and forehead, paler yellow-green cheeks and chin.
It's not well known, but considered near threatened. It eats primarily seeds and fruit and seems to nest in bromeliads or other epiphytes. Flocks are small, under 20 individuals.
