Feeding Habits
Cobalt-winged Parakeet consumes a diet primarily consisting of flowering and fruiting tree products, including Cecropia catkins. Cobalt-winged Parakeet forages among trees, demonstrating adaptability in its feeding behavior.
Habitat
The cobalt-winged Parakeet is primarily found in lowland rainforest, often in the more elevated regions within this zone. Its habitat preference extends to humid secondary growth, forest edges, and the seasonally flooded várzea forests near riverbanks. Additionally, it occupies partly cleared areas as well as savanna and llanos landscapes, adapting to various forested and open environments across broad geographical regions.
