Just saw my first Timneh Parrot today. To be honest I didn’t even know they existed. Was wondering if y’all consider it a species or not? I know this taxonomy does although I have seen others on this site still use the subspecies name.

Just saw my first Timneh Parrot today. To be honest I didn’t even know they existed. Was wondering if y’all consider it a species or not? I know this taxonomy does although I have seen others on this site still use the subspecies name.

I think it is mostly considered its own species these days.

Just saw my first Timneh Parrot today. To be honest I didn’t even know they existed. Was wondering if y’all consider it a species or not? I know this taxonomy does although I have seen others on this site still use the subspecies name.

The split was predominantly based on size and colour (i.e. one is larger and paler than the other), but the two taxa are genetically distinct from what I have read so it is probably a fairly good split.
