- Wild brown-necked parrots (Poicephalus fuscicollis) have rarely been filmed so far. You can see them here, probably for the first time!
Audio and video recorded on site in The Gambia, West Africa, by Florin Feneru and Monica Crugel.
Big thanks for Musa Manneh, official birdwatching guide who made this possible!

As a breeder of the Brown Necked Parrots I particularly enjoyed seeing them in the wild. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
Thank you so much for posting this video, and all your parrot videos. I have been searching for video of various parrot species in the wild and there are very few out there. Really enjoy your video quality, and your passion for parrots really comes through in your commentary.
Amazing how well they blend in with the trees. Such gorgeous birds, I hope that they will become less endangered.
You are right, they are masters at being quiet and invisible, as I've observed in The Gambia. I hope to film them again next year, now that I know where to find them. If their mangroves are left intact, plus these large trees for food, they should be OK. Thanks for your comment! Florin
@@DiscoverPARROTS wow that's amazing, I hope I can see it someday too
The birds are so beautiful!
Thanks! Yes, they are beautiful, especially in flight.
Oh wow. How great to see them wild.
Thanks for your comment, Cheryl! Yes, especially as this parrot is rare and declining in the wild. I hope I can film them better next year. Yours, Florin
Good job!
I really enjoyed this video. At first I thought it was a brown headed parrot but it looks like a uncape parrot in the pet world. They sure have long pointy beaks
You are right, the name 'uncape parrot' is used in aviculture for the brown-necked parrot. That's because the species was split from the Cape parrot, to which it was a subspecies. Thanks for your comment!
That's good news💕💝☮️💟
It's good to see them doing well in the wild. Thanks for your comment! Florin
Love this series so much! Very well filmed and researched. Do you ever plan on filming African Red-bellies? (Poicephalus rufiventris) Just like Brown-necks, it's difficult to find information on them in the wild.
Thanks a lot, Laura! I plan on going back to Uganda as soon as travel will revert to normal. Of course, there are no red-bellies there, but another country I wish to visit is Ethiopia. They have red-bellied parrots Poicephalus rufiventris and also the endemic yellow-fronted parrot P. flavifrons. I' not sure though when I will do that. Tanzania and Kenya are good for observing red-bellies, but I prefer Uganda, as it's closer to the Congo basin and it's always green and lush. Best wishes, Florin
@@DiscoverPARROTS -- Ah, I'd so very much love to go to Ethiopia or Kenya! I'll keep searching the internet for red-belly footage, and will enjoy your other videos in the meantime. :)
woww very nice video bro..plzz upload next parrot video more length...
Thanks! I will put together some footage from the Gambia. Best wishes, Florin
Good
Thanks, Wahid!
I wonder if the longer beaks were related to nesting hens. Maybe they were not chewing as much whilst busy sitting/raising their young. Some seemed to have the expected beak length.
That's interesting, I've never thought to connect the bill length and hens sitting on eggs and chicks. next time I hope to get better views, knowing better how to find them. I will try to compare male and female beak lengths. Thanks for suggesting this! Yours, Florin
@@DiscoverPARROTS I have Brown-necked parrots in my aviaries. The males also have the extremely long beaks. Great video.
