Habitat
The golden-plumed Parakeet is typically found in humid montane forests within the Andean region, preferring areas where trees from the Melastomataceae and Cunoniaceae families are present. It relies heavily on primary forests for feeding, especially on fruits of the Podocarpaceae family, though it can also be present in secondary forests. Habitats that are heavily modified are seldom frequented by golden-plumed Parakeet, as these environments lack adequate foraging and nesting resources.
