The following information is a portion of an article written by Eric D. Hilton. 

---

• Poicephalus flavifrons flavifrons


• Poicephalus flavifrons aurantiiceps

Similar in shape to the Jardine but of a paler green. Also there is no red or orange/ red markings on the body or head, instead as its name suggests it has a large area of yellow around the face extending into the crown and around the eyes.

Its distribution is exclusively in Ethiopia.

Habitat: Mountain forest

Breeding in captivity: No information is available

Sexing: Surgical / DNA

Availability and suitability as pets: There are no examples in UK. As to the suitability as pets I have no information at all. But feel that if any examples are obtained they should not be held as pets. But set up as pairs to establish a captive breeding stock. There are obviously there are no prices available for these birds.
