The Blue-crowned Parakeet aka Blue-crowned Conure, (Psittacara acuticaudatus) is a small green Neotropical parrot with a blue head and pale beak native to large parts of South America, from eastern Colombia in the north to northern Argentina in the south. They inhabit savanna-like habitats, woodland and forest margins, but avoid dense humid forest such as the Amazon.
They have a large range in South America with the Pantanal being one of the easiest places to see them. I took the above photos in the Transpantaneira region. They are also commonly seen in Bolivia and Colombia with some feral populations in Florida.
