Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Large, dark green parrot. Note the red patches on the shoulder and thighs. The head can be pale brown or gray, and the underparts green or blue-green. Found at varied elevations in forest, thick woodland, plantations, and lush savanna. Call is a shriek that is surprisingly high-pitched for such a robust bird. No range overlap with Cape Parrot. Similar to Red-fronted Parrot but has a paler head.
