In this paper, we characterized the complete mitogenomes of Aratinga solstitialis, Pionites leucogaster, and Poicephalus senegalus Fee through Sanger sequencing method.The full lengths of the three mitogenomes are 16,986 bp, 18,858 bp, and 18,022 bp, respectively.All genes exhibit original gene arrangement in A.

solstitialis mitogenome, but gene rearrangements occur in P.leucogaster and P.senegalus mitogenomes.

Bayesian tree indicated that the three parrots were not closely related to each other.The results obtained Tables here can contribute to phylogenetic analysis and biological conservation of parrots further.
