Native to Southern and Central Africa.

Cape Parrots are the largest of the African genus Poicephalus. The species is sexually dimorphic. The adult male loses the bright orange frontal patch on the forehead while the female does not. Cape parrots are medium sized birds with a robust physique and huge beaks to crack all sorts of nuts. They especially love almonds and pine nuts. These birds are charming and very affectionate. They LOVE to be turned upside down, tickled and kissed. These birds can be great talkers and make wonderful pets. (Oh , and they whisper!!!!)

Even with that huge beak, Capes LOVE toys with plastic parts (especially beads) that they can snap into lots of pieces.
