The Red-fan Parrot (Deroptyus Accipitrinus) Puts Its Signature Plumage To Use In A Few Ways. When Threatened,

The Red-fan Parrot puts its signature plumage to use in a few ways. When threatened, it can fan out its neck feathers to seem larger. During courtship, males & females raise their feathers to attract mates, displaying in pairs swaying their heads from side to side.

The Red-fan Parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus) puts its signature plumage to use in a few ways. When threatened, it’ll fan out its vibrant neck feathers to intimidate a foe by making itself seem larger in size. Feathers are also used in courtship rituals, when they’re raised up as come-hither collars by males and females in a display as a pair will sway their heads from side to side. Spot this bird in tropical forests throughout parts of South America, including Colombia and Peru.
