Pesquet's Parrot is a big shiny black parrot with bright red underside. While large-bodied, its recorded length is only 46 cm since it has a relatively short tail.

Sometimes called the vulture parrot because of its featherless face (to stay clean while eating large fruit), it originates from New Guinea.
