Philippine Blue Naped Parrot

[leo1955]

Just want to share my Blue Naped Parrot. He is 8 months old and I just acquired him today. He is still in the process of adjusting to my place, but is willing to eat offered from my fingers. He has a few words in his vocabulary. Hope he settles fast.

It is endemic to my country, Philippines. The Blue-naped Parrot can be found throughout the Philippines including on islands off Borneo and the Talaud Islands. It can be found in forests to scattered trees up to 3280 feet (1000 meters). They flock in groups of usually less than a dozen and feed on berries, seeds, nuts and grain. Habitat loss and trapping have made them scarce on most islands except Mindoro and Palawan.

Hello, kabayan! He is beautiful. How about Maharlika because he is so majestic looking.

Beautiful bird! Reminds me a little bit of an alexandrine, and a lot of a great-billed parrot. Stunning.
