The brown-headed parrot is a small green parrot with a brown head. It lives in forests and savannas in southeastern Africa and flies well between trees.
The brown-headed parrot differs from related species by its completely brown head without red markings. It helps forests by dispersing tree seeds over long distances.
Cracks hard seeds with its beak and picks fruits from branches.
