Slightly darker in color and smaller than Amazons, the Dusky Pionus parrot may be considered by some to be rather drab in comparison, but are attractive in appearance like a falcon or hawk. A short, squarish tail, a prominent ring about the eye, and a distinctive notch in the upper mandible characterize them. They are less temperamental and will learn simple tricks. The average lifespan is 25 years (to 40 in captivity.) Wing clipping is recommended.
