They are quite similar to other popular Poicephalus parrots, like Meyer’s Parrot and the Senegal Parrot.

The male and female are both greenish-gray in color, but the male has an orange-red belly, hence their common names of Red-Bellied or Orange bellied Parrot.

As with other Poicephalus parrots, the Red Bellied Parrots are very playful and natural comics. These birds are extremely enjoyable pet birds and fascinating to watch even years after you’ve brought them home. They love to have interesting and interactive toys, anything that is a puzzle. They will hang upside down from anything they can dangle from. If you give them a handheld toy they will frequently lie upside down and play with their feet. They are very amusing and they enjoy hearing you laugh at their antics.

These parrots do learn to say a few words and some can become very good talkers. They may be the best talkers of the Poicephalus genus. These birds are capable of a few words or maybe a phrase by the time they’re three months old. They love to imitate whistles and can learn to whistle a certain tune based on a verbal cue. With a little patience and tons of repetition, they can learn to do many things on cue such as; whistle, talk, and even flap their wings.

The red-bellied Parrots enjoy human interaction and have a very friendly personality, making them endearing companions. They adapt well to routine and become accustomed to the habits of their owners. Plan on spending an hour or so a day in some type of interaction with this little guy as he is a social creature. But like Senegal it can also become very attached to one human companion, becoming quite possessive and jealous.

Care and feeding of red bellied parrot

A pet bird will enjoy a varied diet, including a seed mix with safflower, and many fresh fruits and vegetables. Formulated diets should only be fed as a supplement, not as the only food, but they can be fun when they come in a variety of different flavors.

Red-Bellied Parrots enjoy many fruits and vegetables, including corn, peas, spinach, parsley, fresh peppers, green beans, carrots, apples, oranges, bananas, and more. Feed all vegetables fresh or frozen, but never canned. Some may also enjoy dried red hot chili peppers. Don’t feed your bird chocolate or avocados. These foods have been implicated in the death of many birds and should not be fed to Red-bellied.

Social Behaviors

These birds are extremely social and will often show off for the company, letting everyone know what new words, whistles, and phrases they have added to their vocabulary; sometimes without you having ever heard them before. If your red-bellied parrot gets regular time out of the cage, it will be more willing to try relationships with more people, and, indeed, other animals. As with any bird, if your Red-Bellied Parrot’s wings are clipped, they are much easier to train. This also increases its dependence upon you, relying on your hand to be the ‘elevator’ to where it wants to go.

Handling/Training

These birds are very easily trained. Your laughter is the strongest training tool imaginable for your bird. He will learn that a particular behavior pleases you, and if you say a particular phrase every time he does that behavior, he will quickly learn to associate the phrase with the behavior. One day he will surprise you doing the behavior when you say the phrase; or, if he does it on his own, saying the phrase while he does it. They are eager to please and live to make you happy.
