Black-fronted Fig-Parrot Cyclopsitta nigrifrons

A small, short-tailed parrot of lowland forest and edge, mostly at low elevations. Green body with dark blue in the wing, a pale buffy face, with a black forecrown and usually a black cheek patch. Subspecies vary in appearance: eastern males have a buff breast and lack a black cheek patch, while females have an orange breast; western males have an orange breast and females a mostly green breast. Usually found in small groups. Most similar to Double-eyed Fig-Parrot, but Black-fronted has blackish instead of red forecrown. Calls, a sharp, high-pitched “tsik!” or excited twittering which often betrays their present in a tree.
