It is characterized by its dark green body plumage, blue tones on the wings and neck, red undertail coverts, and a distinct white patch on the forehead, which gives the species its common name. In the wild, White-capped Pionus parrots inhabit humid forests, forest edges, woodlands, and agricultural areas across Central America. They nest in tree cavities and may be found in pairs or small flocks.

At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive.
All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
