Red-fan parrot

The red-fan parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus), also known as the hawk-headed parrot, is an unusual New World parrot hailing from the Amazon Rainforest.

When excited or alarmed, it raises its blue-edged red neck feathers to form a fan. Its long, rounded tail is also a distinguishable feature. Usually seen alone or in small groups of up to 20 birds, it is often inconspicuous but is often heard before it comes in view.
