About These Birds
Antipodes Parakeet
The Antipodes Parakeet is a large, all-green parakeet endemic to New Zealand's Antipodes Islands, weighing about 148 grams with a wingspan near 28 cm. It is one of the southernmost parakeets in the world, surviving in a harsh subantarctic environment. This vulnerable species is known for its omnivorous diet, including burrowing petrel chicks.
Black-billed Hanging Parrot
The Black-billed Hanging Parrot is a tiny green parrot native to the island of Sulawesi and nearby smaller islands in Indonesia, distinguished by its short black bill and the male's red rump patch. It inhabits tropical forest canopy, forest edges, and gardens, feeding on nectar, pollen, soft fruits, and berries. Like other hanging parrots, it roosts and sleeps hanging upside down.
