Feeding Habits
Red-eared Parakeet primarily feeds on arillate seeds, fruits, and flowers, specifically targeting those from Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Lauraceae, and other families. It forages in areas like Yacambú National Park and shows a preference for certain ripe and unripe seeds, as well as cultivated fruits like Psidium guajava.
Habitat
Red-eared Parakeet typically resides in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, preferring areas like cloud and secondary forests. They are also found in savanna woodlands, edges, and clearings with trees, predominantly in coastal mountain regions. These birds generally inhabit elevations ranging from 1000 to 2000 meters but may venture into semi-deciduous forests at lower altitudes during the dry season. Their habitat often includes regions that have undergone heavy degradation or deforestation.
