The Jardine’s Parrot is one of the larger parrots of the genus Poicephalus. Like other African species they are characterized by a rather prominent beak and squarish tail. The adults reach an average length of about 11 inches.). With a combination of their medium size and healthy energy levels, it is necessary for them to have a lot of free space to move around, and of course, a roomy and large cage. The males and females are completely identical and differentiated only by DNA testing.

Loved for their intelligence and funny, affectionate personality, Jardine’s make a great family companion. They are cuddly without being clingy, totally laid back and capable of happily spending time on their own occupied with their toys.

As is almost common with all the parrots from the African continent, the Jardine’s Parrot is also a fairly good talker. They are not generally noisy parrots, but they do have a loud natural call that is rarely heard.

We have been breeding these delightful parrots for almost twenty years. Because of their popularity in aviculture we do have a waiting list, but please contact us if you’re interested in one of our babies.
