The Senegal parrot (Poicephalus senegalus) is resident breeder across a wide range of west Africa. It makes migrations according to the availability of the fruit, seeds and blossoms which make up its diet. Senegal parrots are about 23 cm (9.1 in) long, weigh about 120-170 grams (4.2 to 6 ounces). They have a relatively large head and beak for their overall size, and feathers form a short broad tail. Adults have a charcoal grey head, grey beak, bright yellow irises, green back and throat, and yellow underparts and rump. The yellow and green areas on a Senegal parrot's front form a V-shape resembling a yellow vest worn over green.
