Also known as the White-capped Pionus or White-capped Parrot, is a popular pet and relatively common in captivity. They are a delight to own! Once they are established they make a very docile parrot that is calm and undemanding. They are very sweet and affectionate.
These intelligent and curious little birds do have a somewhat stronger personality than most other Pionus species, but with good attention they can make fabulous family pets! They are quick to learn and can be taught a variety of tricks. Although they are rather quiet and shy they do have some talking ability.
Blue-headed, Maximilian's and bronze-winged Pionus are the forms most often kept — sturdy birds of 220–280 grams from Central and South America.
One of the quietest mid-sized parrots, and generally less hormonally reactive than an Amazon of similar size.
Reserved but affectionate, and often shy with strangers. They dislike rough handling and reward patience.
