Burrowing Parrot-People: Unique Marvels of Patagonia

Our unique underground nesting sets us apart from all other parrot families, earning us the name “burrowing” parrot. Born architects, we use our powerful beaks and balancing tails to tunnel three meters into limestone or sandstone cliffs, carving hidden burrows with cozy nesting chambers. Many tunnels connect to form an intricate labyrinth – our special neighborhood.
