The Black-capped Conure, also known as the Black-capped Parakeet or the Black-capped Parrot, is a species of parrot native to South America. Its scientific name is Psilopsiagon aurifrons. They are also known as the Golden-crowned Parakeet. They are found in the wild in northern South America, specifically in Venezuela, Colombia, and the Guianas. They are typically green with a distinctive black cap on their heads, which gives them their name. They are known for their playful and sociable personalities, and make good pets. However, they can be quite noisy and require a lot of attention and space. They are relatively common in aviculture, but are considered endangered in the wild due to habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade.
