Dracula the parrot is a true goth among birds and is frighteningly beautiful

A black beak, head and tail, a black and gray chest, and scarlet feathers that look like the lining of a coat make the name “Dracula” incredibly fitting for this parrot! Pesquet’s or Dracula’s parrot is a very beautiful bird, with extraordinary colors that differentiate it from others of the same species, making it look like a true rebel.

Here in the awesome.clubwe fell in love with this goth from the parrot world and we hope you like this extraordinary beauty too.

Pesquet’s parrot lives in the mountains of New Guinea. Its rather unusual coloring has given the parrot a second name, “Dracula parrot”. Male and female parrots look pretty much the same, except for one small detail: female parrots don’t have that little red spot behind their ears. Dracula parrots are large and reach up to 45 centimeters, from the beak to the end of the tail. Their half-bald heads make them look even scarier and alluring at the same time.

In addition to their unique appearance, these parrots produce quite peculiar noises, often described as roars and growls, hence the name Dracula. Unfortunately, because of their bright coloring, Pesquet’s parrots have become a target for poachers and their population is dwindling. We hope that awareness of this issue will help keep this bird and other animal species alive and safe.

In the meantime, let’s enjoy several amazing photos showing the Dracula parrots in all their glory.
