Piones Bronze Wing basic information

Bronze Wing's beautiful colors increase as they mature. Often described as "muddy," babies lack the striking coloration of the adults. A mature Bronze Winged Pionus has violet blue feathers that are etched with dark grey. Its wings are flecked with bronze. They have muted pink feathers on their throats, and they have white chins. Throughout their plumage varying shades of green, blue, chestnut, and purple are seen. Like other Pionus species, the underside of their tail is red. In bright natural light their plumage appears iridescent and will often give the appearance of changing as they move. They have yellowish colored beaks and flesh colored feet. The Bronze Winged Pionus is a medium sized parrot measuring 11.5 inches (29 centimeters). Females are more predominant in the species. And they are somewhat sexually dimorphic, in that females will tend to get a pinkish color on the skin around the eye (eye ring) when in breeding season and hormonal.
