Blue-eared Parrot

Blue-eared Parrot

　　Also known as the Sichuan Parrot or Danba Parrot, it is a bird native to China and is listed as a Class II protected animal. Due to its moderate size (body length 370–480 mm), vibrant plumage, and ability to mimic human speech, the Blue-eared Parrot has gained fame both domestically and internationally as a pet. In recent years, however, natural factors and excessive illegal capture have severely damaged its wild population. As a result, strict conservation measures are now in place for the Blue-eared Parrot. (Danba County)
