Maroon-fronted Parrot (Rhynchopsitta terrisi)
About the Maroon-fronted Parrot
The maroon-fronted parrot (Rhynchopsitta terrisi) is a large, macaw-like parrot. It is dark green with a dark red shoulder and a maroon forehead and eye-stripe. Its underside of the wings and tail appear to be black when it is in flight. It makes a high, rolling cr-a ak sound. Groups sound similar to the acorn woodpecker if they are heard from a distance. The species is endemic to northeastern Mexico, where only about 2500–3000 birds survive in the wild. R. terrisi is one of two extant and one extinct species of genus Rhynchopsitta of thick-billed parrots.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 22 recordings for this species: 13 CC BY-NC-ND · 9 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
