Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A thick-set, short-tailed parrot with green wings, a red body, a black cap, purple thighs, and a yellow bib just underneath a black streak on the side of the neck that extends up toward the cap. Resident in primary forest, but tolerant of modified habitats. Differs from the superficially similar Duchess Lorikeet in its much shorter, square-ended tail and black forehead. Has a vast repertoire of typical parrot-like squeals, shrieks, moans, and chatters.
