Feeding Habits
Tucuman Amazon mainly eats fruits and seeds of native trees like Podocarpus and Blepharocalyx, varying its diet seasonally. In winter, tucuman Amazon opts for leguminous seeds and occasionally consumes exotic flora, including Morrera and Ligustrum fruits, especially near human settlements.
Habitat
The tucuman Amazon primarily dwells in open mountain woodlands within the Andean Yungas forest biome. These areas are characterized by dense, humid broadleaf forests with dominant tree species such as Alnus acuminata and Podocarpus parlatorei, providing a lush, canopy-rich environment for the species.
