Yellow-chevroned Parakeet primarily consume seeds and fruit, supplemented by blossoms and nectar in feral populations. They forage mainly in disturbed forested areas and clearings, often visiting bird feeders, and display communal roosting outside of breeding seasons.
Habitat
The yellow-chevroned Parakeet primarily thrives in open woodlands and savannas that feature a sparser tree presence. It adapts well to human-altered environments, including suburban regions with exotic flora such as palm and eucalyptus trees.

They reside at various altitudes and display seasonal habitat preferences related to food availability.
