Blue-crowned Parakeet, also famous as Blue-crowned Conure

Blue-crowned Parakeet, also famous as Blue-crowned Conure, Sharp-tailed Conure, Perico Frentiazul, Periquitão de cabeça azul/ Aratinga-de-testa-azul (Aratinga acuticaudata). Picture is by Thiago Calil,taken in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
The Blue-crowned Parakeet occurs in lowland dry forests in South America. A remarkable aspect of this species is that it occupies these deciduous forests in several widely separated regions: in northern Colombia and northern Venezuela; in the interior of northeastern Brazil; and from eastern Bolivia and south central Brazil south through Paraguay to north central Argentina.
