Определение

ПРИ ПОДДЕРЖКЕ MERLIN

A mostly green parrot restricted to Buru that has rackets extending beyond its square-shaped tail. Also note the silvery-gray bill, purple rear crown in males, and yellow base of undertail. Juveniles lack rackets. Pairs and small groups inhabit montane forest, sometimes roaming to cultivated areas. The only parrot on the island with tail rackets. When rackets cannot be seen, the green head, silvery bill, and yellow vent separate it from all other local parrots. Gives loud screeches and repeated ear-splitting “weep” notes.
