what kind of bird is he/she?

[gilbertparada]

I receivedthis bird from my mother in law because they weren't caring for it very well. I just don't know what kind if bird it is.


Supposedly it might be from the Mexico area. I want to know what it is so I can better care for it. Thought it could be a conure but the eyes and eye ring look like nothing i see on conures.

Looks like a brown headed parrot. They are from Africa.

Yep looks exactly like our African brown head. They are from the poi family of birds.

Thank you all sooo much.


Now to learn how to care for him. Not much information around. He also was rescued as he was tramautized from a previous experience .

Mine loves fruits and vegetables, talks with a little robot voice. What kind of info are you looking for?

My Robin and Griffin are in the same Poicephalus family too. If I could, I'd get a Brown Headed! Love them.

Poor little guy can use a new cage. Some toys too.

Thanks for taking this little guy in and giving him a chance at a decent, comfortable life. There's a poi section in this forum, maybe you can get some valuable info there. Try the General Info section too, lots of sticky threads worth reading.

He sure is cute!
