Black-headed Parrot

Birdorable Black-headed Parrot

This week we've added the Black-headed Parrot to Birdorable. This beautiful short-tailed parrot can be found in South American forests north of the Amazon River and west of the Ucayali River. Together with the White-bellied Parrot, it is one of two birds in the caiques family. These birds are very social and can be found in flocks up to 30 individuals. Luckily the Black-headed Parrots is not endangered and is fairly common across its range.

This is just one of many Birdorable parrots. Check out our meet page to see them all.
