Black-Capped Parakeet

The Black-topped Parakeet (Pyrrhura rupicola), otherwise called the Black-topped Conure or Rock Conure in aviculture, is a parrot local to the south-western Amazon Basin and nearby east Andean inclines in Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. It has an aggregate length of pretty nearly 25 cm, is generally green with a dim tan dark top, whitish layered neck and bosom, red wing coverts (upper, not lower - along heading edge) and a dark bill. The bosom quills are dim with light tips, instead of the inverse.

It exists in damp woods, going from the Amazonian swamps up to a height of 2000 m. on the East Andean slants. While its environment is continuously bothered, parts of its go are inside ensured territories (e.g., in Manú National Park), and it remains boundless and by regional standards honestly regular. Group estimate 20-30, littler in rearing season.
