The black parrot, also known as the black-capped lory, is a medium-sized bird native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and surrounding islands. It features predominantly black plumage with striking red accents on its wings and tail. These parrots are known for their strong, curved beaks, which they use to feed on fruits, nectar, and seeds. Black parrots are social creatures, often found in small flocks. They are known for their playful behavior and vocalizations, which include a variety of squawks and whistles. Due to habitat loss and the pet trade, their populations are declining, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
