This is "Chester" (left) and a Coral Bill Pionus "Puff" eating
together!
Video may take a minute or two to download.
This is Chester and he is a Hawk Head Parrot and is a DNA Sexed 6 year
old male.
Quite a sight to see when his ruff (neck feathers) is standing!
They can stand more outward than what this photos shows.

Hawk Head Parrots can be very aggressive and Chester is really just nice to me and he will attack others who are around him often at times. Chester will attack any of the other birds that he is around. Even though I can handle Chester, he can turn on me easily. Hawk Head Parrots can get easily aroused with no warning at all. Chester weighs 260 grams. Hawk Head Parrots are VERY noisy too!! Never do I allow him on my shoulder and just a bit below chest level while sitting on my arm is how I hold him. |
Close up of Chester eating which is usual for him as he is a chow hound!
Chester is a very good eater and loves to eat!
Here you can see the nape area that has the two colors which is quite unique
looking!
The chest has the same colors throughout as the nape feathers.
Chester and me!
