The Azuero Parakeet (Pyrrhura eisenmanni) is a species of parakeet endemic to Panama, specifically the Azuero Peninsula. The parakeet can also be found in the humid forest near rivers in hilly areas of the Cerro Hoya National Park.
Azuero parakeets live in flocks of 10 to 15 individuals. They feed on fig trees and cecropia trees during the appropriate seasons.
This parakeet is facing risk of extinction due to its small range and deforestation near its habitat.
