They eat a variety of seeds, nuts, fruits, greenstuffs. Also commercial pellet would be beneficial. These birds are native to Central America from southwestern Mexico to western Panama. They are not loud like many conures and amazons. The hen lays up to five eggs, which are uncubated for about 26 days.
