Double-eyed Fig Parrot
Cyclopsitta diophthalma 13-15 cm
This short-tailed parrot is the smallest parrot in Australia and it is common in Far North Queensland. Usually located by zeet-zeet calls and often easy to observe feeding on small figs. They breed between August and December by chewing a nest-hole into dead soft wood about 3-4 m or more high in the rainforest. |
