Rüppell's Parrot, alternatively referred to as Rueppell's Long-tailed Parrot or Rüppell's Parrot, is an African-native parrot species. These parrots, which are formally classified as Poicephalus rueppellii, are located primarily in the semi-arid areas of northeastern Africa, such as northern Uganda, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, and parts of Ethiopia.

With a red patch on their shoulder and a predominately green plumage complemented by blue patterns on their wings and tail, these parrots are renowned for their striking appearance. In proportion to their body dimensions, they possess a relatively large head and a lengthy tail.

Predominantly arboreal, Rüppell's Parrots inhabit savannas, woodlands, and forest margins. In addition to seeds, fruits, and grains, they occasionally consume insects.

They are extremely social and frequently congregate in large colonies, particularly during the non-breeding season, similar to numerous parrot species. Certain regions are experiencing a decline in Rüppell's Parrot populations as a result of habitat degradation and capturing for the pet trade.

Trade regulation and the protection of their natural habitats are currently under way in an effort to ensure their continued existence in the open. .
