Amazonian Parrotlet primarily forages on the ground for Guadua bamboo seeds and ingests minerals at clay licks. It occasionally feeds with other species midday, consuming clay for sodium and other nutrients.
Habitat
The habitat of amazonian Parrotlet encompasses trees and natural secondary vegetation flourishing alongside rivers within lowland tropical forests, favoring environments untouched by anthropogenic disturbances. These birds are commonly associated with river-edge trees but are not present in areas of closed-canopy forest or regions significantly altered by human activity.

Behavior
The bird was consistently measured to be in flocks of anywhere from 5 to 12 birds by the researchers who described it. Flocks make sounds similar to squawking or peeping. One possible nest was observed, a burrow among a cluster of bromeliads.
Distribution Area
The bird has a patchy distribution throughout Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru, with the latter containing the majority of its population. It largely occupies riparian forests, especially those that consist of Calocophyllum spruceanum and Cecropia membranacea.
Species Status
The Manu parrotlet faces primarily habitat fragmentation and degradation from industry, especially mining, and associated road.
