Photo made by Pascal Dubois in French Guyane (Côté Nature). The dusky parrot is a common sight in Suriname, especially in the forests of the interior. It is less common than its cousin the Blue-headed parrot and like this one it is mostly seen in flying overhead and calling, in pairs or small groups. It eats fruit and seeds, silently in treetops. This is a sound of the dusky parrot.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
