General Info
Behavior
The brown-hooded parrot feeds in pairs or small flocks of up to 15 birds, taking various seeds and fruits, including figs, from trees and epiphytes. It can be difficult to see when feeding since it is slow-moving, usually silent, and keeps in the canopy. Its flight call is a rolling kereek, and when perched it has a variety of social gurgles and squeaks.
