파랑새롤러는 비행 중 구르고 굴러다니는 화려한 공중 묘기에서 이름을 얻었다. 수컷은 번식기에 이 공중 묘기로 암컷을 유혹한다. 밝은 파란색과 밤색이 눈에 띈다.
Turquoise-fronted Amazon
The turquoise-fronted amazon is one of the most popular pet parrots in the world, prized for its ability to mimic human speech and its engaging personality. In the wild, these sociable parrots roost communally in large flocks and fly in pairs to feeding sites at dawn. Habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade threaten wild populations.
