Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A long-tailed, red-billed parrot, mostly lime-green apart from a paler collar, a marginally darker head, and a yellow-green patch on the breast. In flight, shows yellow underwings. Juveniles are duller, with a brown bill. Restricted to the island of Flores, where small groups inhabit forested foothills. Found at higher elevations than Coconut Lorikeet, and lacks the dark blue head and the red on the underparts. Vocal, giving shrill calls typical of lorikeets: “skreeeee.”
