hawk headed parrots
This South American parrot is known for its brilliantly colored plumage, and is named for the blue and red feathers around their head that are raised when they become excited or when it feels threatened.
The most striking features are its flashy coloration and its ruff that — when raised — reminds us of an Indian headress or a lion’s mane.
Both males and females look alike. Thereforem, if gender is important (for breeding purposes, for example), DNA or surgical sexing is recommended. Both the male and the female have a white fore crown and a brown throat with white streaks. The base of
their neck is red edged with blue. The hawk-heads breast and belly are red and edged with electric blue. Their back, wings and tail are green. The underside of their tale is black. Some of the adults have a red spot under the base of their tail, and it
is not related to gender.
The juveniles have brown eyes and a lighter color beak. The adults have yellow eyes, a gray-black beak and gray legs.
