Description
Pesquet's Parrots are sometimes referred to as Vulturine Parrots because of their vulture-like look. Their long beak and bare heads are believed to be adaptations that prevent the soft fruits they eat from collecting on their feathers. The image was take in Dallas, Texas, wildlife preserve with a Nikon camera and lens.
This parrot's remote habitat makes it difficult to study. Its population is currently declining, mainly due to hunting. Some people use Pesquet's Parrots for food, but they are more often hunted for their feathers, which are commonly used for ceremonial headdresses.
