PsittaScene Parrots in the Wild
Rüppell’s Parrot Poicephalus rueppellii By RUDOLF K. WAGNER When Rudolf Wagner visited Namibia he found Ruppell’s Parrots at four different locations. They live in bush, forest and mopane savannah. Numbers varied from single pairs to small groups totalling up to about 30 birds. Among the items on which they feed are figs, the fruits of Acacia eriolaba, and the seeds of the bloodwood tree (Terminalia prunoides). Printed by Brewers Business Solutions Ltd. Tel: 01326 558000
