Field Notes

Description:

This green parrot/parakeet is naturally found in Brazil. This bird is found in the United State because of the pet trade. People have released these birds in environments that they would be found naturally because of one reason or another. They have become an invasive specie in Florida like the iguanas and the boars.

Habitat:

I found this bird in my neighbor's backyard.
