The Black-headed Parrot (Pionites melanocephalus ; in some cases inaccurately Pionites melanocephala), otherwise called the Black-headed Caique, Black-topped Parrot or Pallid Parrot (for P. m. pallidus), is one of the two animal groups in the sort Pionites of the Psittacidae family; alternate species being the allopatric White-bellied Parrot.

It is found in woods (particularly, not solely, damp) and adjacent lush environments in the Amazon north of the Amazon River and west of the Ucayali River in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. It is by and large equitably basic and happens in numerous ensured territories all around its run.

It is regularly found in sets or little boisterous groups of up to 10 people, however now and again up to 30. In the wild, they consume generally blooms, mash, and seeds and perhaps creepy crawlies.

The Black-headed Parrot is a medium-little, short-tailed parrot with a dark crown, yellow to orange head, whitish tummy, yellow thighs and crissum, green back, wings and upper tail, blue primaries (blackish from beneath), and grayish-dark bill and feet. The white bosom quills of wild Caiques are frequently stained a chestnut tan (or 'isobel') color. This may be tannin staining, as aftereffect of their specific liking for showering by rubbing their forms against wet leaves and other plant matter.
