The peach-fronted parakeet (Eupsittula aurea), more commonly known as the peach-fronted conure in aviculture, is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is widespread and often common in semi-open and open habitats in eastern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, far northern Argentina and southern Suriname (Sipaliwini Savanna). Both its common and scientific name is a reference to the orange-yellow forehead, although this is reduced in juveniles.

Taxonomy
The peach-fronted parakeet was formally described in 1788 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae. He placed it with all the other parrots in the genus Psittacus and coined the binomial name Psittacus aurius.[2][3] Gmelin based his description on earlier publications. In 1758 the English naturalist George Edwards had described and illustrated the species with the English name, the "golden-crowned parakeet".[4] The peach-fronted parakeet in now one of five parakeets placed in the genus Eupsittula that was introduced in 1853 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.[5] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek eu meaning "good" with the Modern Latin psittula meaning "little parrot". The specific epithet aurius is Latin meaning "golden.[6] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[3]
Description
The peach-fronted parakeet has a peach cap, white round the eye and green plumage. peach-fronted parakeets are sexually monomorphic. Juvenile peach-fronted parakeets resemble adults, with a much smaller peach crown, with no white eye ring.
