"Cobalt-winged Parakeet Brotogeris cyanoptera". Captive pairs lay clutches of about five eggs that hatch in 24 days. The cobalt-winged parakeet's breeding season is not well known but apparently includes June and July in the western part of its range. It has been recorded feeding on flowers, fruits, and Cecropia catkins. Little is known about the cobalt-winged parakeet's foraging technique and diet. The cobalt-winged parakeet is thought to be mostly sedentary but might make some seasonal elevational movements. The cobalt-winged parakeet inhabits a variety of landscapes including the edges and interior of rainforest, secondary forest, várzea, savanna, and Llanos. beniensis, northeastern and central Bolivia from Beni to Santa Cruz gustavi, the upper Huallaga River valley of northern Peru cyanoptera, the upper Amazon Basin in eastern and southeastern Colombia, southern Venezuela, western Guyana, eastern Ecuador and Peru, northwestern Bolivia, and west-central Brazil The subspecies of the cobalt-winged parakeet are found thus: beniensis is paler than the nominate with a similar amount of blue on its head and a yellow carpal edge like gustavi. gustavi has very little blue on its head and a yellow edge on the carpals. Immature birds are a duller version of the adult. Their flight feathers are blue their central tail feathers are also blue and the rest are green. cyanoptera have a yellowish forehead, an orange chin, and a blue tinge on their crown and nape. The species is almost entirely green that is darker on its upperparts. The cobalt-winged parakeet is 18 to 20 cm (7.1 to 7.9 in) long and weighs an average of 67 g (2.4 oz).

Cobalt-winged parakeets at a clay lick along the Napo River, Ecuador Description The cobalt-winged and golden-winged parakeet ( B. gustavi has been treated as a separate species by some authors. The cobalt-winged parakeet has these three subspecies: Peters, in his Check-list of Birds of the World, cited Tommaso Salvadori (1891) as the originator, and this citation is used by BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World. Pelzeln called it Sittace cyanoptera and separated it from what is now the orange-chinned parakeet ( Brotogeris jugularis). The International Ornithological Committee and the Clements taxonomy attribute the first description of the cobalt-winged parakeet to August von Pelzeln, dated 1870. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela. The cobalt-winged parakeet ( Brotogeris cyanoptera) is a species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots.
