Justification of Red List category
This species has a large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence under 20,000 km² combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (under 10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be over 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (over 30% decline over ten years or three generations). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population size is unknown given recent taxonomic splits. This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by 9% within its mapped range over the past 10 years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is tentatively suspected that this loss of cover may have led to a decline of between 1-19% in the species' population size over the same time frame.
Trend justification
.
Pyrrhura parvifrons is restricted to two separate areas in northern Peru, in NE San Martin and W Loreto and an apparently unconnected population in NE Loreto (Arndt 2008). Appears to meet the range of P. roseifrons around Tarapoto in the Huallaga valley.
Occurs in small groups in forest and assumed to have similar requirements to other Pyrrhura species, but little specific information available.
22 cm. One of the largely green medium-sized parakeets (often called conures) with long maroon-red tails, dark red belly patch and bright blue primaries. P. parvifrons is closest in appearance to P. roseifrons, but has the rose-red colour on the head restricted to a narrow band on the frons and a few scattered feathers in the dark brown crown. The ear coverts are paler grey-brown and there is strong scalloped pattern on the upper breast.
