hooded parrot
The hooded parrot (''Psephotus dissimilis'') is a species of parrot native to the Northern Territory in Australia. It is found in savannah and open woodland and is one of two extant species that breed in termite mounds. It has declined from much of its original range.
==Taxonomy==
One of three species known as antbed parrots, the hooded parrot is closely related to (and sometimes considered a subspecies of) the golden-shouldered parrot (''Psephotus chrysopterygius''). A genetic study revealed its ancestors most likely diverged from ancestors of the latter species in the late Miocene or early Pliocene at the conclusion of the 'Hill Gap'.
Norwegian naturalist Robert Collett described the hooded parrot in 1898. Its species name is the Latin word ''dissimilis'' "different" and either refers to its sexual dimorphism or its different appearance from its closest relative. Black-hooded parrot is an alternative name.〔Lendon, p. 248.〕
