The most common predators of parrots are Birds of Prey such as falcons, kites, hawks and even eagles, and mammalian carnivores such as foxes and cats.
Depending on the country, other predators may include the False Vampire Bat (Africa, Asia, east Indies and Australia), various species of Quoll (Australia) and the Brown Capuchin Monkey (Peru).
Although humans aim to eradicate parrots in areas where the parrots are agricultural pests, they cannot be said to be "predators" of parrots.

∙ 9y agoParrots are generally not carnivorous, so do not have prey. Parrots are seed-eating birds, and essentially herbivorous, with many species also frugivorous (fruit-eating). Most eat fruits, and the nectar and pollen of flowering trees.
They have strong curved beaks ideal for cracking hard shells of seeds and nuts, including gumnuts in Australia.
Some varieties are also insectivorous, feeding on small insects to help supplement their protein intake. The kea of New Zealand is notable for eating meat, tearing open carcasses to fed on meat and internal organs when their usual diet of nuts, fruits and seeds becomes scarce in the winter months. It is known to prey on other birds and sheep when seeking food.
