Venezuelan Parakeet (Pyrrhura emma)
About the Venezuelan Parakeet
The Venezuelan parakeet (Pyrrhura emma) or Emma's conure is a species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is endemic to Venezuela. The Venezuelan parakeet's taxonomy is unsettled. At one time it was considered a subspecies of what is now the white-eared parakeet (P. leucotis). The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treat it as a full species. The IOC considers it to be monotypic but HBW assigns it two subspecies, P. e. emma and P. e. auricularis. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society and the Clements taxonomy consider it to be a subspecies of the painted parakeet (P. picta). This article follows the IOC treatment.
