Acerca de
The Black-fronted Fig-parrot is a tiny, compact parrot with vivid green plumage, a black forehead, and a short, stout bill specialized for extracting fig seeds. It inhabits lowland rainforests and forest edges of northern New Guinea. Like other fig-parrots, it forages high in the canopy, using its strong bill to bite into figs and eat the seeds and pulp within.
