This pretty little parrot, also called Lesson’s parrotlet, or the celestial parrotlet, is native to western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. It is most common in dry habitats such as the desert and deciduous forest, but has spread into humid areas in response to deforestation. I’ve seen it only in Peru.
