From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orange-chinned Parakeet (Brotogeris jugularis) is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest. Its name comes from a small clump of bright orange feathers located under the lower beak, which is not always easy to see. Like other parrots, it is capable of imitating simple human speech. Due to its small size, it also called "pocket parrot."
They make very challenging pets, and as a result, it's recommended to buy one that was handfed and well-socialized when it was younger.
