The brown-necked parrot (Poicephalus fuscicollis), sometimes known in aviculture as the uncape parrot,[2] is a large Poicephalus parrot species endemic to Africa.
It consists of two subspecies: the savanna-dwelling brown-necked parrot (P. fuscicollis fuscicollis) and grey-headed parrot (P. f. suahelicus) subspecies. It formerly included the Cape parrot (now Poicephalus robustus) as a subspecies before the Cape parrot was re-classified as a distinct species.[3]
