The Meyer's parrots inhabit the African moist woodlands and savannah edges. They eat seeds, nuts, berries and cultivated grain. Because of the numbers of captive Meyer's parrots and the interbreeding with lack of full understanding of the 6 subspecies, captive subspecies of Meyers are difficult to identify. Also visual sexing can be difficult (DNA testing recommended,) but generally the cock has a larger beak, larger head and the head tends to be flatter on the top.
