It is mainly found within a belt of dry deciduous and semi-deciduous areas of the Caatinga forest.

[3] Adult Pfrimer's parakeets grow up to a size of around 22–23 cm (8.5–9 ins) including the tail.

[4] The Pfrimer's parakeet is endemic to Caatinga forest of the Goiás and Tocantins states of Brazil.

[1] The range of this bird is severely fragmented due to habitat loss and ecosystem degradation.

The diet of the Pfrimer's parakeet is mostly made up of fruits, berries, and seeds; though they have been known to eat certain flowers, insects, and their larvae.

[3] Anthropogenic activities, such as agriculture, mining, and hunting are reasons as to why the population is currently decreasing.

This deforestation is typically through selective logging, fires, and the conversation of forested land to meadows.

The habitat of the Pfrimer's parakeet shrinks by 2.1% each year and is in dire need of conservation.

Logging and agriculture interests are currently the main threats against this species, which it needs protection from.
