Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Unmistakable: a red parrot with a diagnostic dark cap, forest-green wings, and a slim yellow necklace. Juveniles show a broader yellow band, more violet on nape, and a brown bill (red in adults). Secretive pairs occupy hill forest on the island of Seram. The only red parrot in its range with a dark cap, green wings, and a yellow necklace. Gives harsh screeches and raptor-like whistles.
