Feeding Habits
Bronze-winged Parrot primarily consumes fruits like those from Guazuma ulmifolia and bananas, alongside small seeds. Often spotted foraging in fruiting Ficus, bronze-winged Parrot has adaptations for a fruit-based diet with occasional seeds.
Habitat
Bronze-winged Parrot is primarily found in humid and semi-deciduous forests, including both canopy layers of woodlands and highland cloud forests. Occupying elevations between 900 and 2400 meters, bronze-winged Parrot adapts to various forested landscapes, such as foothills, forest borders, and partially cleared regions. It also inhabits drier deciduous woodlands, particularly towards the southern range, with its nomadic patterns driven by food availability across northwestern South America.
