The South African Cape Parrot is still P. robustus but without the extra robustus at the end. The parrots that we call Cape Parrots in the U.S. are P. fuscicollis fuscicollis and P. f. suahelicus, the Brown-necked Parrot and Grey-headed Parrot, respectively. NOTE: To minimize confusion, we will use the scientific names in the remainder of this FAQ. Sorry about that.
