Austral Parakeet

It occurs mostly in wooded country, but also shrubland and farmland. It stays near sea level in the extreme south, but ranges up to 2000m at the northern end of its range. Flock size is usually only 10-15 individuals, though flocks over 100 are known. It eats grass and bamboo seeds, nuts and small fruit, and nests in tree cavities.

The Austral 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 Austral Conure or Austral Parakeet (Enicognathus ferrugineus) is one of only two species in the Enicognatus genus. These conures are found on the southern tip of South America and - along with the Slender-billed Conure (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) - they are the most southerly distributed of all parrots. The Austral Conure is not as well known as many other conures - in fact, its sub-species, the Chilean Conure, is better known and easier to find. More
