Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot

아담사 2024. 7. 22. 13:15

The blue-crowned hanging parrot is distributed throughout Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo and other nearby islands. It is a pair of male and female and is about 12-14cm in size.

The blue-crowned hanging parrots sleep upside down by hanging from tree branches.

The parrot's green plumage and hanging sleeping position imitates leaves among trees to camouflage themselves among the foliage.

 

The blue-crowned hanging parrot forms bonded pairs during January to July for the breeding season. In order to court a female, the male will display by strutting; where the red rump, tail coverts, and red throat feathers are fluffed up.

The pair's bond is maintained in this species through courtship feeding where the male will regurgitate food and offer it to a female.
