The saffron-headed parrot (''Pyrilia pyrilia'') is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It was previously placed in the genus ''Pionopsitta'', but moved out, as it is not as close to the type species ''Pionopsitta pileata'' as it was believed. It was briefly placed in ''Gypopsitta'', but this is a junior synonym of ''Pyrilia'' and thus the saffron-headed parrot is now placed in the latter genus. It is found in Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, and possibly Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It has some tolerance to habitat alteration, depending on woodland but not being restricted to primary forest .〔Laverde-R., Oscar; Stiles, F. Gary; & Múnera-R., Claudia. (2005). ''Nuevos registros e inventario de la avifauna de la Serranía de las Quinchas, un área importante para la conservación de las aves (AICA) en Colombia'' (records and updated inventory of the avifauna of the Serranía de las Quinchas, an important bird area (IBA) in Colombia ). ''Caldasia'' 27(2): 247-265 (with English abstract ). (PDF fulltext ) 〕 The saffron-headed parrot is becoming rare due by habitat loss. It was considered to be noticeably declining and thus uplisted to vulnerable in the 2000 IUCN Red List. Since then, it has been found to be more common than previously believed—though still becoming rarer—with robust populations in some places (e.g., the Serranía de las Quinchas of Colombia〔〔Cuervo, Andrés M.; Hernández-Jaramillo, Alejandro; Cortés-Herrera, José Oswaldo & Laverde, Oscar. (2007). Nuevos registros de aves en la parte alta de la Serranía de las Quinchas, Magdalena medio, Colombia (bird records from the highlands of Serranía de las Quinchas, middle Magdalena valley, Colombia ). ''Ornitología Colombiana'' 5: 94-98 (with English abstract ). (PDF fulltext ) 〕) and thus it was downlisted from vulnerable to near-threatened in the 2007 IUCN Red List.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saffron-headed parrot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
