TJ'z BIRDS       

The Dusky Pionus (Pionus fuscus) is also sometimes called the violet parrot.  They have beautiful pink/purple feathers on their chests and stomachs.  They have dark colored beaks with horn colored sides.  Their feet are gray. They are one of the smaller Pionus. Dusky Pionus are 9-10 inches long and weigh 185-200 grams. Both males and females look identical and so surgical or DNA sexing is required.  Dusky Pionus are rather difficult to breed in captivity, and as a result are sadly becoming increasingly hard to find in the pet market.
