Brown-throated Parakeet

The Brown-throated Parakeet is mostly green, with the lowerparts being a lighter green than the upperparts. Black/grey beak. Some blue in the wing feathers. Brown throat. Head and face colours depend on the subspecies.

The Brown-throated Parakeet is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Brown-throated Parakeet has been introduced to Puerto Rico (where now possibly extirpated), the U.S. Virgin Islands (mainly St. Thomas, hence the alternative name St. Thomas Conure), and various other islands in the Lesser Antilles (at least Dominca; recent sightings also from Martinique and Guadeloupe).
