Cape Parrot (Brown Necked), Poicephalus

Scientific Name: Poicephalus robustus

Native Range: Southern Africa

The Cape Parrot is a rare and extremely intelligent member of the Poicephalus genus. This species is one of the few parrots that is sexually dimorphic: females retain a vibrant peach-colored forehead into adulthood, while males typically molt into a smooth silver head.

At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive.

All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
