The dusky pionus is a parrot I've seen and just fallen in love with.
Though they seem to be a lesser known parrot that I don't see much of.
If anyone has any information or photos of one or, even better, if anyone owns one I'd like to hear about your experience with your bird.
From what I've read so far the pionus is a quieter, medium parrot.

I love the Dusky Pionus too! I had to go with the Bronze Winged though. My second BW because they’re my absolute favorite Pionus. Dusky would be my second favorite.

I think some Pionus are noisier than others, but Raven (and my late female) is usually quiet. He mutters and mumbles a lot which is hilarious, and talks pretty well. For their body size, the call sounds “smaller” and he doesn’t do “bird sounds” very often at all.
