Aratinga
''Aratinga'' is a genus of South American conures. Most are predominantly green, although a few are predominantly yellow or orange. They are social and commonly seen in groups in the wild. In Brazil, the popular name of several species usually is ''jandaia'', sometimes written as ''jandaya'' in the scientific form. Many species from this genus are popular pets, although being larger than the members of the genus ''Pyrrhura'', they need a sizable aviary to thrive. Taxonomy The genus ''Aratinga'' was introduced in 1824 by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix. The type species was subsequently designated as the sun parakeet. The genus name is from the extinct Tupi language of Brasil. ''Ará tinga'' means "bright bird" or "bright parrot". The taxonomy of this genus has recently been resolved by splitting it in four genera, as the genus as previously defined was paraphyletic. The species of the '' Aratinga solstitialis'' complex, were retained in this genus, while other form ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sun Parakeet
The sun parakeet (''Aratinga solstitialis''), also known in aviculture as the sun conure, is a medium-sized, vibrantly colored parrot native to northeastern South America. The adult male and female are similar in appearance, with black beaks, predominantly golden-yellow plumage, orange-flushed underparts and face, and green and blue-tipped wings and tails. Sun parakeets are very social birds, typically living in flocks. They form monogamous pairs for reproduction, and nest in palm cavities in the tropics. Sun parakeets mainly feed on fruits, flowers, berries, blossoms, seeds, nuts, and insects. Conures are commonly bred and kept in aviculture and may live up to 30 years. This species is currently threatened by loss of habitat and trapping for plumage or the pet trade. Sun parakeets are now listed as endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Taxonomy The sun parakeet was one of the many species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Conure
Conures are a diverse, loosely defined group of small to medium-sized parrots. They belong to several genera within a long-tailed group of the New World parrot subfamily Arinae. The term "conure" is used primarily in bird keeping, though it has appeared in some scientific journals. The American Ornithologists' Union uses the generic term ''parakeet'' for all species elsewhere called ''conure'', though Joseph Forshaw, a prominent Australian ornithologist, uses ''conure''. Description Conures are either large parakeets or small parrots found in the Western Hemisphere. They are analogous in size and way of life to Afro-Eurasia's rose-ringed parakeets or the Australian parakeets. All living conure species live in Central and South America. The extinct ''Conuropsis carolinensis'', or Carolina parakeet was an exception. Conures are often called the clowns of the parrot world due to their constant attention seeking behavior including hanging upside-down and swaying back and fo ...

Aratinga Jandaya
The jandaya parakeet or jenday conure (''Aratinga jandaya'') is a small Neotropical parrot with green wings and tail, reddish-orange body, yellow head and neck, orange cheeks, and black bill, native to wooded habitats in northeastern Brazil. It is a member of the ''Aratinga solstitialis'' complex of parakeets very closely related to, and possibly subspecies of the sun parakeet. The bird has a wide range, but is locally rare in the wild; they are common in aviculture, where they are known as "jenday conures". Taxonomy The first description of a bird called "jendaya" was by the German naturalist, Georg Marcgrave, who saw the bird during his 1638 expedition through Dutch Brazil. Based on Marcgrave's description, the jandaya parakeet was included in the works of Francis Willughby in 1678, John Ray in 1713, Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760, the Comte de Buffon in 1779, and John Latham in 1781. None of these ornithologists had seen a specimen of the bird. When in 1788 the German nat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aratinga Auricapilla
The golden-capped parakeet (''Aratinga auricapillus'') is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae found in Brazil and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, dry savanna, and plantations. It is threatened by habitat loss. The ''A. auricapillus'' is a good biological indicator because of its vulnerability, high detectability as well as its sensitivity to forest fragmentation. Description It is long and mostly green with a black beak, white eyerings, orange-red belly, and red face fading to yellow over the crown. Juvenile members of the ''A. auricapillus'' group develop their yellow head markings and red coloration on the lower body in adulthood. The approximate weight for golden-capped parakeets is 4.9-5.25 oz.“Golden-capped Conure” ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aratinga Maculata
The sulphur-breasted parakeet (''Aratinga maculata''), or sulphur-breasted conure is a species of parrot from Brazil and Suriname. It resembles the closely related sun parakeet.Silveira, L. F., F. C. T. de Lima, and E. Höfling (2005). A new species of ''Aratinga'' parakeet (Psittaciformes:Psittacidae) from Brazil, with taxonomic remarks on the ''Aratinga solstitialis'' complex. ''The Auk'' 122: 292-305 Taxonomy First described in 1776, ''A. maculata'' had long been dismissed as invalid. It was rediscovered as part of a study of specimens of the sun parakeet and related species. Specimens of the sulphur-breasted parakeet had previously been dismissed as immature sun parakeets or hybrids. Believing it represented an entirely undescribed species, it was described as ''A. pintoi'' (in honour of the Brazilian ornithologist Olivério Pinto) in 2005. Only in 2009 was it shown that ''A. maculata'' and the "new" ''A. pintoi'' were the same.Nemésio, A. & C. Rasmussen (2009)The rediscove ...

Aratinga Nenday
The nanday parakeet (''Aratinga nenday''), also known as the black-hooded parakeet or nanday conure, is a medium-small, mostly green, Neotropical parrot native to continental South America. Taxonomy The nanday parakeet was previously regarded as a member of the monotypic genus ''Nandayus'' Bonaparte, 1854 one of the rough 16 genera of Neotropical parrots of tribe Arini which includes the conures and macaws. However, phylogenetic evidence showed that it is positioned in one of the four groups in the genus ''Aratinga''. When the genus ''Aratinga'' was revised and split in four separate genera, this species was included in the current genus ''Aratinga''.DNA-sequence data require revision of the parrot genus Aratinga (Aves: Psittacidae) J.V. Remsen, Jr., Erin E. Schirtzinger, Anna Ferraroni, Luís Fábio Silveira & Timothy F. Wright This revision was based on earlier studies. According to a mtDNA-based phylogenetic analysis of the genus ''Aratinga'' by Ribas & Miyaki (2004), the nand ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
