charmozin papuánský Charmosyna papou

A large, very long-tailed lorikeet of mid and upper montane forest. Has a red head and chest, yellow on the side of the chest and lower flanks, green wings, dark patch on the belly, and green base to the tail and yellow tail tip. Like other lorikeets, nomadic following the flowering of trees. Similar to Josephine’s Lorikeet, but Papuan is distinctly larger with long tail streamers, and yellow patches on the sides. Call, a high-pitch, ringing “srik!” note.
