Aviculture

Aviculture is the practice of keeping and breeding birds, especially of wild birds in captivity.

Brazil

Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest and easternmost country in South America and Latin America.

See Pearly parakeet and Brazil

Covert feather

A covert feather or tectrix on a bird is one of a set of feathers, called coverts (or tectrices), which cover other feathers.

See Pearly parakeet and Covert feather

Crimson-bellied parakeet

The crimson-bellied parakeet (Pyrrhura perlata), known as the crimson-bellied conure in aviculture, is a species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. Pearly parakeet and crimson-bellied parakeet are parakeets and Pyrrhura.

See Pearly parakeet and Crimson-bellied parakeet

Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

See Pearly parakeet and Endemism

Flight feather

Flight feathers (Pennae volatus) are the long, stiff, asymmetrically shaped, but symmetrically paired pennaceous feathers on the wings or tail of a bird; those on the wings are called remiges, singular remex, while those on the tail are called rectrices, singular rectrix.

See Pearly parakeet and Flight feather

Hybrid (biology)

In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

See Pearly parakeet and Hybrid (biology)

Illegal logging

Illegal logging is the harvest, transportation, purchase, or sale of timber in violation of laws.

See Pearly parakeet and Illegal logging

International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

Morphology (biology)

Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

Neotropical parrot

The neotropical parrots or New World parrots comprise about 150 species in 32 genera found throughout South and Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean islands and the southern United States.

Priority (biology)

Priority in biology is a taxonomic principle by which a valid scientific name is established based on the oldest available name.

Psittacidae

The family Psittacidae or holotropical parrots is one of three families of true parrots.

See Pearly parakeet and Psittacidae

Secondary forest

A secondary forest (or second-growth forest) is a forest or woodland area which has regenerated through largely natural processes after human-caused disturbances, such as timber harvest or agriculture clearing, or equivalently disruptive natural phenomena.

See Pearly parakeet and Secondary forest

Subspecies

In biological classification, subspecies (subspecies) is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed.

See Pearly parakeet and Subspecies

Synonym (taxonomy)

The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently.

See Pearly parakeet and Synonym (taxonomy)

Taxonomy (biology)

In biology, taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.

See Pearly parakeet and Taxonomy (biology)

Tocantins River

The Tocantins River (Rio Tocantins, Parkatêjê: Pyti) is a river in Brazil, the central fluvial artery of the country.

See Pearly parakeet and Tocantins River

Type (biology)

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.

See Pearly parakeet and Type (biology)

Vulnerable species

A vulnerable species is a species which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being threatened with extinction unless the circumstances that are threatening its survival and reproduction improve.

See Pearly parakeet and Vulnerable species

Xingu River

The Xingu River (Rio Xingu,; Mẽbêngôkre: Byti) is a river in north Brazil. It is a southeast tributary of the Amazon River and one of the largest clearwater rivers in the Amazon basin, accounting for about 5% of its water.
