Yellow-chevroned parakeets are believed to be the first parakeet species to consume arboreal termite nests, which occurs when they are digging holes in the nests and they consume a mixture of clay, organic matter, feces, and saliva (Costa-Pereira, et al.). The termite nests provide more physiological benefits compared to ordinary ground soil, which includes organic matter and other macronutrients, like Potassium, Magnesium, and Aluminum (Costa-Pereira, et al.). Yellow-chevroned parakeets also consume various flowers, fruits, pulp, and seeds with palms and Bombacaceae, which are commonly known as Silk cotton trees, being to most popular choice for the parakeet(Paranhos).
