The Peach Fronted Parakeet (Eupsittula aurea) is a species of bird in Rio. The peach fronted parakeet is also more commonly known as the Peach Fronted Conure in aviculture.

Description[]

This bird is 10 inches (26 cm) long and has green plumage with blue flight feathers and with a peach crown and yellow eye-rings. They spend much of their time foraging on the ground where they feed on seeds, flowers, leaves, and insects. And at the time they also raid fields of soybeans, rice, and corn. This parakeet is also superficially similar to the Orange-fronted Parakeet (Aratinga canicularis)

Distribution[]

It is widespread and often common in semi-open and open habitats in eastern Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Northern Argentina, and southern Suriname.
