The Andean parakeet (Bolborhynchus orbygnesius) is a small 160 mm (6 in) parrot found in the upland wooded valleys of the central eastern Andes in Bolivia and Peru, at elevations of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) to 5,000 m (16,400 ft). It is solid green, darker above and lighter below, with some blue visible on the wings when flying. It has a pale bill and medium length tail. It is stockier and darker than the mountain parakeet.
Most flocks are small, but sometimes include over 300 individuals. The Andean parakeet eats seeds, buds, and berries, and it breeds in burrows in steep banks.
It was formerly known as B. andicolus - Wikipedia
Parrot 8.1.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site, or by following the download instructions. For those who want to hack on Parrot or languages that run on top of Parrot, we recommend our organization page on GitHub, or you can go directly to the official Parrot Git repo on Github
To clone the Parrot Git repo into a directory called 'parrot', use the following:
git clone git://github.com/parrot/parrot.git
If you want it to be in a directory other than 'parrot', then just give that as a second
argument to clone:
git clone git://github.com/parrot/parrot.git parrot_foo
The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are:
