Edwards's fig-parrot Psittaculirostris edwardsii

A medium-sized, chunky parrot of lowland and foothill forest and gardens. Green body, crown and a purple band across the chest with very distinctive red and yellow head pattern. Yellow streaked cheek with red streaks towards the throat. Male has a red belly. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks although congregates in large numbers at fruiting fig trees. Similar to Salvadori’s Fig-Parrot and ranges may meet. Edward’s has red on the face and a purple breast band which Salvadori’s lacks. Call, a high-pitched, piercing “tsiiik!” repeated.
