Sometimes flocks of parrots attack cereal crops, corn fields and rice, in which case they can bring some harm to farmers. But usually the interaction of a person and plum-headed parrots in nature is extremely rare.

Due to their beautiful plumage, good temperament and contact, these parrots are often kept in captivity. They sing beautifully and rarely scream, and if they do.

Parrot is one of the most favorite species for keeping at home. Its medium size and rather peaceful nature make it less laborious to keep than large parrots and, at the same time, in terms of intelligence and intellectual abilities, it is not inferior even to the Gray. He also has the ability to copy human speech.

The main reason for the decline in the number of eagle parrots is human impact, in particular, active trapping. Parrots are caught for sale, for food, but mainly for the use of bright red feathers for the festive costumes of the indigenous people of Papua. Now explanatory work is being carried out among the local population about the need to protect these parrots.
