It is endemic to the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti). Localized feral populations exist in Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and the Miami, Florida area, where they sometimes associate with canary-winged parakeets. DescriptionThe bird is a medium-sized parakeet, evenly colored green, with a long and pointed tail, pale beak and legs, white eye-ring and red patch on the wing's wrist area. Sexes are identical; the bird is highly gregarious, forming flocks which can surpass several dozen individuals. The only similar bird in its native range is the possibly introduced olive-throated parakeet, from which it can be readily differentiated mainly by wing patches that are blue, instead of red. HabitatIts natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and arable land; nonetheless, there are populations that live in urban areas, like the ever-increasing one in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. It, like many psittacids, is threatened by habitat loss and illegal captures for the pet trade. The Puerto Rican parakeet (Psittacara maugei) was previously found on Mona Island, but became extinct circa 1882. It was considered a subspecies before being considered as a distinct species.[2] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22685695 |title=Psittacara chloropterus | assessor=BirdLife International | assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2012.1 |year=2012 |accessdate=16 July 2012}} 2. ^{{cite book | title = The Encyclopedia of Vanished Species | last = Day | first = David | year = 1989 | publisher = Mclaren Publishing Limited | place = Hong Kong | ISBN = 0-947889-30-2}} External links
