Carrion Parrots

The Carrion Parrots, Caropsitticus sp., are a group of carnivorous, baldheaded, scavenging, vulture-like true parrots from the lowland plains of Skull Island. A close relative of theirs is the martial parrot.

Most colorful among the carrion-eaters of Skull Island are the many and varied carrion parrots. Half a dozen species coexist on the island.

Exploiting a ready food source, many of Skull Island’s parrots are fulltime carrion-eaters. Strong beaks and naturally inquisitive natures make the partially featherless, raucous carrion parrots the perfect candidates for the job. Their ancestors probably arrived on the island only a few million years ago - their adaptation and diversification having occurred quickly in evolutionary timescales.
