The El Oro parakeet (Pyrrhura orcesi) is an Endangered species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots.

Their throat, the sides of their neck, and their breast are green with grayish buff bars giving an indistinct scaly appearance.

[4] The El Oro parakeet feeds on fruit and berries; some known sources are figs (Ficus), Heliocarpus, Hieronyma, and Cecropia.

[4][5] The El Oro parakeet's breeding season appears to span from March to July.

"[4] The IUCN originally assessed the El Oro parakeet as Vulneralble but since 2000 has listed it as Endangered.

"[1] The Buenaventura Reserve was created in 1999 by Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco to conserve this species and the El Oro tapaculo (Scytalopus robbinsi).

It encompasses about 4,000 ha (15 sq mi) of cloudforest in which the Fundación maintains a network of nest boxes.
