Rüppell's Parrot Poicephalus rueppellii

Chunky mid-sized parrot that is mostly gray with blue underparts. Note the yellow shoulder patches and blue rump, which are conspicuous in flight. Found in arid savanna, especially in the lusher woodland along riverbeds. Usually in pairs or small flocks. Calls are variable high-pitched squeals. Similar to Meyer’s Parrot, but has blue underparts and a gray base color, and never shows yellow on the head.
