A Cactus Parakeet, also called the Caatinga Parakeet or Conure, feeds on a seed pod. The parakeet, perched on a branch, highlights the intricate details of its feathers against a softly blurred background. As their name suggests, these parakeets are found in the arid, dry caatinga biome of northwestern Brazil. They feed mostly on the fruits of cacti and succulents.
