🌎 Yellow-chevroned parakeet (Brotogeris chiriri) The yellow-chevroned parakeet is a small, pale green bird with a pointed tail. It has distinct yellow markings (chevrons) on its wings, which are visible both at rest and in flight, and dark blue wingtips. Native to tropical South America (central Brazil to northern Argentina), it has established feral populations in urban areas of Florida and California due to escaped pets. These highly social parakeets often form noisy, communal roosts and small, chattering flocks. They feed primarily on seeds and fruits, adapting to blossoms and nectar in feral populations. They nest in tree cavities or dead palm fronds. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Bergheimatfilm via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-parakeet-parrot-9170927/ FJQT
