Pionus chalcopterus, commonly known as the Bronze-winged Parrot, is a bird species found in parts of South America, including Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. This bird is known for its striking appearance, including a green and bronze plumage, a blue-gray head, and a distinct red patch on its belly.

The Bronze-winged Parrot is a social bird that is commonly found in small flocks in forested areas and other habitats with abundant fruit trees. It feeds on a variety of plant material, including fruits, nuts, and seeds, and is known to be an important seed disperser in its ecosystem.

Despite being a popular and charismatic bird species, the Bronze-winged Parrot is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation, mining, and other human activities. Conservation efforts to protect remaining populations and their habitats include the establishment of protected areas, restoration of degraded habitats, and education and outreach to promote awareness and appreciation of these important and unique birds.

In addition, the Bronze-winged Parrot is commonly kept as a pet, which can contribute to population decline in the wild. Conservation efforts to address this issue include promoting responsible pet ownership and supporting alternative livelihoods for those involved in the illegal pet trade.
