It looks like what we might call a conure but I'm confused about it. Anyone know?
It says poaching for pet trade is a big factor. I've never seen one, has anyone?

A link to the status of the grey breasted parakeet and efforts to bring them back, some of which look very hopeful if funding is found.
(fyi- American Bird Conservancy is one of my favorite organizations and a 4-star Navigator charity.)

Yes, it is a critically endangered species of pyrrhura conure.

Never seen one, how sad..

 

[MommyBird]

Yes, it is a critically endangered species of pyrrhura conure.

Thank-you, I thought it looked more like what I would call a conure

It's unclear, however, whether it is actually a distinct species, or a subspecies of the white-eared conure, which is not endangered.

So very sad to see that only 250 birds remain, and only 13% of its original territory. We ruin this planet and the wipe out entire species of animals for what? Pursuit of money and things. So very, very, sad.
