Greater Vasas have extremely truncated bodies with long necks, black to grey feathers and a pink beak. The skin of both female and male Vasas turns yellow during the breeding season. There is often feather loss, which can result in complete baldness. Another interesting feature of breeding physiology is when the feathers, which are usually black to grey, turn brown without a molt. This is caused by the redistribution of melanin, which is the pigment that makes the Vasas' feathers black. In addition to their appearance they possess aspects of their physiology that make them completely unique amongst parrots. Vasa chicks are known to hatch after only 18-20 days of incubation, which is highly irregular as parrots of the Vasa size range tend to take up to 30 days to hatch. |
