196 PARROT. 



feathers red on the inner webs, from the base to two-thirds of the 

 length ; legs as the bill. 



Inhabits Brazil. 



According to M. Levaillant, the Agile Parrot is no other than a 

 young bird, probably that of the Aouro-comaou, or Brazilian yellow- 

 fronted Species, a variety of the Amazon's Parrot ; but in opposition 

 to this sentiment, the Agile Parrot has the tail cuneiform, though in 

 a slight degree; besides which, Mr. Edwards kept one alive for some 

 years, without change of plumage.
