Feeding Habits
Guaiabero primarily consumes fig seeds, diverse fruits, and particularly enjoys guava. It forages in trees and vines, preferring elevations below 1000 meters, with specialized adaptations for fruit-eating.
Habitat
The guaiabero predominantly resides in a variety of arboreal landscapes, including mature forests, areas where the forest meets open land, regions of regrowth following ecological succession, and clearings that are speckled with isolated trees. Additionally, this bird species can be found inhabiting both cultivated orchards and mangrove ecosystems, indicating a certain adaptability to both natural and modified environments.

General Info
Behavior
It inhabits lowland forests and adjacent cleared country. It is a predominantly fruit eating parrot, and has been recorded near fruit trees such as mangos. The breeding habits in the wild remained virtually unknown until a few years ago, but based on recent observations it appears to nest in a self-excavated cavity inside an arboreal ant nest or termitaria.
