Body length 30 cm. It is very difficult to distinguish the female from the male. But the female in the lower body of the body is a little paler. This is not an important factor, because the shade may depend on the general condition of the bird and on its age.
It lives in Brazil.
It feeds on berries, seeds and other plant foods. Often harms corn plantations. With the exception of the nesting period, the parrots are held in small groups.
The female lays 3-5 eggs with an interval of 3-4 days. The duration of the incubation — 26-30 days. Young birds leave the nest at the age of 8 weeks.
