Maroon-fronted Parrot
Rhynchopsitta terrisi
EndangeredThe Maroon-fronted Parrot is a compact parrot that uses woodland, savanna, or forest edge to feed on seeds, fruit, blossoms, and cultivated crops where available in central and western Mexico. 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.
