Brown-headed Parrot
Poicephalus cryptoxanthus
Least ConcernThe Brown-headed Parrot is a compact parrot that uses woodland, savanna, or forest edge to feed on seeds, fruit, blossoms, and cultivated crops where available in southern African woodlands. It usually nests in tree cavities or cliff holes and may make local movements as food trees fruit or flower. Fun fact: many parrots use strong hooked bills and zygodactyl feet together like a climbing-and-feeding toolkit.
