Wild male in Peru. The Pacific parrotlet (Forpus coelestis) is a small green parrot originating from South America.A typical specimen is 11–14 centimetres (4.3–5.5 in) long and typically weighs 30 grams or more. [2]
If left alone for too long, a single parrotlet can lose some of its companionability. [citation needed] The Pacific parrotlet, in particular, does not understand that it is a tiny bird, and has little trouble challenging other animals and humans. [3]
On his YouTube channel, Apollo has been shown asking several questions and understanding the answers he receives. [8] This makes him the second recorded non-human animal to have ever asked a question, the first being Alex, another African Grey Parrot. Apes who have been trained to use sign language have so far failed to ever ask a single question.
The cobalt-rumped parrotlet, at least until 2021, is a rare case in which the common name has been more stable than the binomial. F. xanthopterygius initially referred to what are now considered two distinct species: the cobalt-rumped parrotlet (then referred to as the blue-winged parrotlet) and the white-winged parakeet (Brotogeris versicolurus).
Riparian parrotlets are found in southeastern Colombia to northern Peru and western Brazil. [1] There is a small population on São Sebastião Island. [2] Though they do not fully migrate, it has been suggested that riparian parrotlets are altitudinal migrants: abundance of the species in lowland areas increased during winter and spring; this is likely because during these seasons, the main ...

The Pacific Koel can be identified by its black plumage, often tinted with blue and green, and red eyes. The species is sexually dimorphic: the female has brown plumage along the back with white spots and the underbelly is often cream coloured with fine black stripes.
Until recently, the turquoise-winged parrotlet was considered a subspecies of the cobalt-rumped parrotlet as Forpus xanthopterygius spengeli.However, in 2015 Bocalini and Silveira studied morphological differences between subspecies of cobalt-rumped parrotlets and determined that the turquoise-winged parrotlet was its own species, F. spengeli.
