Habitat
Scarlet-fronted Parakeet commonly inhabits areas where the forest edge meets lighter montane evergreen or cloud forests, characterized by vegetation such as Acacia, Prosopis, and Ochroma. It is also found in tropical deciduous forests, secondary growth regions, and gallery woodlands. This species adapts to human-altered environments, including fields, orchards, and urban parks. Cliff faces are a critical habitat feature for scarlet-fronted Parakeet, providing essential nesting and roosting sites. They are typically residents of broader geographical regions that encompass these habitat types.
