About These Birds
Caïque maïpouri
The Black-headed Parrot is a medium-sized, robust parrot with a jet-black head, bright yellow-orange nape and thighs, and vivid green upperparts. It inhabits humid lowland forests north of the Amazon River, ranging from Colombia and Venezuela to Brazil and Peru. It forages in the canopy and midstory, feeding on seeds, fruits, and berries, often in noisy flocks.
