Orange-fronted Parakeet

Perico Frentianaranjado

Eupsittula canicularis

The Orange-fronted Parakeet (Eupsittula canicularis) is a small, long-tailed parrot native from western Mexico to northwestern Costa Rica. It is mostly green, with a bright orange forehead, a blue-green crown, and a yellow bare eye-ring. It favors tropical lowlands and semi-open landscapes with scattered trees, woodland edges, and sometimes towns, where it often travels in pairs or small flocks. In Puerto Rico it is an introduced or free-flying species rather than a native bird.
