The beak of this bird is horn-colored with black tips and the feet and legs are the color of flesh. Both the males and females of the species look the same although the males have gold-colored irises while the female’s eyes are brown. Even with that slight difference, it is not easy to tell a male from a female.

These birds can benefit from eating some chopped-up fresh fruits, leafy greens, and root vegetables. These healthy, fresh foods should be offered twice a week, at least. Just remember that fresh food rots quickly so immediately remove any fresh your bird doesn’t eat.
