Brazilian Endemic restricted to South East Brazil
These photos were taken in the very heart of São Paulo City. Although geographically restricted to that area of South East Brazil that used to be covered in Atlantic Rain Forest, the Plain Parakeet is one of the few creatures to have adapted to the destruction of 95% of this habitat and survives very well in many areas including large urban centres where trees are present.
There is a distribution map on NatureServe.
The photos show the main identification features: generally green, with a bluish tinge on the nape, shoulder bronzy-green, flight feathers and underside of tail blue/green.The following are calls A and B on our DVD-ROM Birds of Brazil
