the ochre-marked parakeet, also known as the blue-throated conure or red-eared conure in captivity, is a medium-sized parrot endemic to brazil. they are known for the bright red markings on their face, belly, shoulder, and tail. they are very social birds, and often live in loud, noisy groups; it is rare to find a solitary bird. they prefer tropical lowland forest, and feed on a variety of fruits and vegetation. in captivity, they are often noisy and emotionally demanding birds. they are considered ‘vulnerable’ by the IUCN due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade.
