During a 2010 to 2012 study on the eating habits of the golden-capped parakeets, the birds were noted to primarily ignore the exocarp and mesocarp or outer layers of the fruits in order to eat the seeds within. Among the food ingested by the parakeets, the researchers observed the parakeets to eat various plant materials from

Conservation efforts targeted towards parrots and protection of its habitat have also helped slow the decline, but a continued concern over the possibility of poachers who capture exotic birds as pets and habitat loss to livestock, coffee, sugarcane, and soybean farms keeps the

Though observed to be in decline due to deforestation based on data recorded in affected areas, golden-capped parakeets are more commonly found outside primary forests and have a distribution of population throughout Guyana, Brazil, and
