Pyrrhura pfrimeri (Pfrimer's Parakeet; Goias Parakeet)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Pfrimer's parakeet (Pyrrhura pfrimeri), in aviculture also known as Pfrimer's conure, is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is endemic to Goiás and Tocantins in Brazil. It is restricted to deciduous and semi-deciduous Caatinga forest. This parrot is classified as endangered by BirdLife International. The primary problem is the ongoing habitat loss within its already fragmented range, but capture for the wild bird trade also poses a potential threat.
