Acerca de
The red-fan parrot, also known as the hawk-headed parrot, is a New World parrot hailing from the Amazon rainforest. It is the only member of the genus Deroptyus. When agitated or excited, it erects its elongated neck feathers to form a dramatic fan-shaped display of red and blue, reminiscent of a hawk's crest. This unique display behaviour, combined with its vibrant plumage and high intelligence, makes it one of the most distinctive parrots in aviculture.
