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.
