​As they usually travel in groups, the Red-crowned Parrots are usually heard before being seen. They usually fly regular routes from their roosting spots to foraging locations. They love fruit and can be seen munching in palm and other fruit bearing trees, like Hackberry and Fiddlewoods. Their green coloring can make them hard to spot in the trees, but in flight it is easy to see their red crowned head and red marking on their wings. The blue on the nape of their head is harder to see, but when the sun shines just right it gleams!
