The Grey-breasted Parakeet (Pyrrhura griseipectus) is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is endemic to Ceará in north-eastern Brazil and restricted to a few mountains with relatively humid forest and woodland in a region otherwise dominated by arid Caatinga. Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of the White-eared Parakeet, as Pyrrhura leucotis griseipectus. The split was based on range and subtle differences in colour of crown, ear-coverts and chest. More

(Pyrrhura leucotis), the Grey-breasted Parakeet had been neglected until it was almost too late, its disappearance from former haunts passing largely unnoticed. Since its recent recognition as a full species, its drastic circumstances have come to light, and it is now classified as Critically Endangered (Olmos et al 2005, SACC 2005, Birdlife 2007). The available historic information, and observations of the known existing wild population (in the Baturité Mountains, Ceará State), all indicate that P. More
