Mitred Parakeet (Psittacara mitratus)
About the Mitred Parakeet
The mitred parakeet (Psittacara mitratus), also known as the mitred conure in aviculture, is a species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is native to Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. It has been introduced to Uruguay and is established there. There are also substantial populations in the US states of California and Florida and smaller numbers in Hawaii. The mitred parakeet was for a time placed in the genus Aratinga but from about 2013 has been in its present genus Psittacara. Its taxonomy is otherwise unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these three subspecies: P. m. chlorogenys (Arndt, 2006) P. m. mitratus (Tschudi, 1844) P. m. tucumanus (Arndt, 2006)
