Speke's parrot, also known as Psittacus erithacus, is a medium-sized bird native to the forests of East Africa. This parrot is characterized by its vibrant green plumage, a distinctive red tail, and a strong, curved beak. It primarily feeds on fruits, seeds, and nuts, playing a vital role in its ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. This species is named after the British explorer John Hanning Speke, who contributed to the exploration of Africa in the 19th century. Unfortunately, Speke's parrot is currently classified as endangered due to habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
