endangered species
The yellow-fronted parakeet has a limited habitat, and it is said that there are not many inhabitants. Because yellow-throated parrots eat agricultural crops such as corn and mangoes, they are hated by farmers and are often exterminated as pests. And the forest area that is the habitat of parrots is destroyed by humans, and the habitat is also divided. And because parrots are very popular as pets, they are also being overhunted. Due to this background, the yellow-fronted parakeet has been designated as a near-threatened species. The habitat on the island of Bonaire in the Netherlands is designated as a national park, and it is becoming known not to hunt. It is said that the population of Bonaire is about 450, and the population of Venezuela is about 1,900. The yellow-throated parakeet is also listed in Appendix I of the Washington Convention, which imposes restrictions on international trade.
Breeding
Yellow-throated parrots can be kept in captivity, but due to restrictions on international trade, they may not be readily available. Also, the yellow-fronted parakeet has a loud and high-pitched cry. You can never keep them in a collective housing. It is safer to take soundproofing measures even in a single house. Spotted parrots are South American creatures, so they are very vulnerable to cold weather. Please take measures against the cold, such as installing a heater. Also, since the bird is big, buy a large cage.
