Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot
(loriculus galgulus)
Worldwide c.332 species, 5 in Borneo. Tiny green parrot with blue crown-patch and crimson bib.
Usually solitary or in pairs. Fast flying and feeds on seeds, nectar, flowers, buds and fruit.
The dextrous bill and tongue sometime use as third foot and the feet are zygodactylic (the fourth toe is reversible, both these features allowing great agility. All species are cavity nesters.
