和尚鸚鵡，又稱塔樓鸚鵡，是一種中小型的鸚鵡，在許多分類系統中都是和尚鸚鵡屬的唯一物種，這種鸚鵡原產於南美洲阿根廷與鄰近國家亞熱帶至溫帶的區域，不過現在是常見的飼養鸚鵡，被人移入飼養後，可逃脫再野生化形成野生族群，廣泛分佈於全世界，在許多國家造成外來種問題。

👁形貌
The nominate subspecies of this parrot is 29 cm (11 in) long on average, with a 48-centimetre (19 in) wingspan, and weighs 100 g (3.5 oz). Females tend to be 10–20% smaller, but can only be reliably sexed by DNA or feather testing. Monk parakeets display very subtle sexual dimorphism in the colouration of their crown and wing coverts, but this is not noticeable to the human eye. It has bright-green upperparts. The forehead and breast are pale grey with darker scalloping and the rest of the underparts are very light-green to yellow. The remiges are dark blue, and the tail is long and tapering.
