Description
The New Caledonian parakeet (Cyanoramphus saisseti) or New Caledonian red-crowned parakeet, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. The species was once considered to be conspecific with the red-fronted parakeet of New Zealand but is now considered a full species and is known to be the basal species in the genus Cyanoramphus, which had its origins in New Caledonia. 
Feeding Habits
New Caledonian Parakeet feeds on a variety of seasonal plant materials, including buds, blossoms, seeds, and fruit, as well as invertebrates. Foraging behaviors are adapted to what is available throughout the year, with specific local preferences for certain plant species.
Habitat
The new Caledonian Parakeet is typically found in a variety of forested environments, favoring subtropical or tropical moist lowland and montane forests. These birds are also accustomed to living in dry savannas and moist shrublands. Broadly, their habitat can be characterized by regions that feature a mix of lush forest landscapes, some open areas, and shrubby vegetation. They belong to a lineage that has its origins in the expansive ecosystems of the South Pacific, where their relatives have adapted to various island habitats, including those without extensive tree cover.
