Parrots
White-crowned ParrotThe White-crowned Parrot or Plum-crowned Pionus, (Pionus senilis), is a small parrot which is a resident breeding species from eastern Mexico to western Panama. The female White-crowned Parrot is similar to the male, but the blue plumage fades into scaling on the lower breast and the shoulder patch is duller. Young birds have little blue on the head and neck or red on the undertail, and the crown feathers are green edged with white. The White-crowned Parrot feeds in social flocks of 30-50 birds, which may wander outside the breeding range once nesting has finished. It feeds on taking various seeds, nuts and fruits, and can be pest in crops of corn or sorghum, and commercial fruit plantations. |
