sixpenceee:

Pesquet’s parrot (Psittrichas fulgidus) also known as the vulturine parrot  endemic to hill and montane rainforest in New Guinea. Compared to most other parrots it appears unusually small-headed, in part due to the bare black facial skin and the relatively long, hooked bill. This rather vulture-like profile is the reason behind its alternative common name. (Source)
