A genus of small to medium-sized parrots from Central and South America, known for their bright green plumage and social behavior.
From Portuguese, likely derived from Tupi. 'Aratinga' refers to a group of conure parrots common in South American forests. The scientific genus name reflects the indigenous Tupi classification.
Aratingas are incredibly social birds that live in flocks of hundreds and are so loud together that they can be heard from miles away—their combined calls sound like a deafening chorus!
