Abstract
The occurrence of Pionus maximiliani (Kuhl, 1820) in the state of Pernambuco is characterized by few documented reports and little ecological information. Therefore, the aim of this study is to describe new records of the species and provide information about its frugivorous diet and foraging behavior (consumption of pulp and seeds). The observations were carried out in the municipality of Olinda. During the months of November and December 2020 and January 2021 (38 events) The birds were monitored during foraging activity on the fruits of five tree species, including Mangifera indica L. and Psidium guajava L. These observations contribute to a better understanding of the occurrence and feeding ecology of the Scaly-headed Parrot in the state of Pernambuco.
