It has a predominantly green plumage, a yellow ear patch, and a short, hooked bill. It feeds on fruits, seeds, and flowers, playing a crucial role in seed dispersal and pollination. It is known for its distinctive call and its highly social nature. Usually seen in flocks of a few to a dozen birds that fly from one fruiting tree to another giving deep, rich squawks. Dependent on wax palms for nesting and roosting, which have been relentlessly harvested and cleared for pasture.","animal_habitat":"The Yellow-eared Parrot is native to the Andes Mountains of Colombia, with its range extending into parts of Ecuador. It inhabits montane cloud forests and high-altitude forests, typically found at elevations between 2,500 and 3,000 meters. This species prefers areas with abundant fruiting trees and dense vegetation.\r\n\r\n","animal_behavior_and_reproduction":"These parrots are social and often form small to medium-sized flocks. They are known for their loud calls and vibrant social interactions. During the breeding season, they build nests in tree cavities or in large, vertical crevices. Females lay 2-4 eggs, and both parents take turns incubating them and feeding the chicks until they are ready to fledge.\r\n\r\n","diet":"Primarily fruits, seeds, and nuts; also consumes flowers and leaves","colors":"Vibrant green plumage and the yellow patches behind its eyes.","fun_facts":"The Yellow-eared Parrot is named for the distinctive yellow patches on its ears, which stand out against its green plumage.\r\nThey play a crucial role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds and aiding in forest regeneration.\r\nDespite their striking appearance, they are known for their cryptic behavior and can be difficult to spot in their dense forest habitat.\r\nThe species is highly vocal and communicates with a range of calls and screeches that can be heard over long distances.\r\nThey are one of the few parrot species that nest in natural tree cavities, as opposed to man-made structures or artificial nests.\r\nConservation efforts for the Yellow-eared Parrot include habitat protection and reforestation projects, aiming to restore their cloud forest habitats and ensure the survival of the species.","conservation_status_&_efforts":"The Yellow-eared Parrot is classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List. The primary threats include habitat loss due to deforestation and illegal trapping for the pet trade. Conservation efforts are focused on habitat restoration, protecting key breeding sites, and establishing protected areas to safeguard their remaining forest habitat. Additionally, captive breeding programs and reintroduction initiatives aim to bolster wild populations and mitigate the impacts of habitat degradation.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","endemic":true,"conservation_status":"Endangered","related_animals_countries":[73145],"related_animals_habitats":[74230,74187,74237],"related_animals_observation_areas":[74026,76229,79000],"related_animals_projects":[83547],"ebird_link":{"title":"","url":"https:\/\/ebird.org\/species\/yeepar1","target":""},"animal_related_page":"","video_link":"","gallery":[76860,76859,76858,76869,76870,76868,83555,83556]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bird\/74662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bird"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/bird"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83556"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83555"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76868"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76870"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76869"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76858"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76859"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76860"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/83547"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spotting-area\/79000"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spotting-area\/76229"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spotting-area\/74026"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/habitat\/74237"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/habitat\/74187"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/habitat\/74230"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries\/73145"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"class","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/class?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"continent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"families","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/families?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"genus","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genus?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"orders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orders?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"seasonality","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seasonality?post=74662"},{"taxonomy":"spotter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildexpedition.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spotter?post=74662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
