parakeets and (other) wild birds


Explanation:
I'm not sure what you mean by 'silvestres' - wild birds I suppose. It's be easier to be sure if we had some context.

I'd say 'parakeet' for 'cotorrita' - for species such as Psittacula krameri etc.

Not sure why you say 'cotorritas Y silvestres' though - because parakeets can be wild birds too (they are not all captive! ;-).

agree  Andrés Martínez: Parakeet es quizás demasiado concreto, yo optaría por "small parrots" y entre paréntesis si se quiere añadiría parakeets, cockatiels, lovebirds, etc.

wild parrots


Explanation:
cotorra = parrot

silvestre como adjetivo = wild

no sé porque la conjunción "y" está entre el sustantivo y el adjetivo

wild and captive-bred parakeets


Explanation:
Without more context, I would suggest wild and captive-bred parakeets. There is strong encouragement to supply the pet industry with birds that adapt well to and breed in captivity (many parakeets are indeed domestic animals, as much as a dog or a cat, and are bred in forms and colors that do not exist in the wild), rather than trapping wild birds.
