The Black-fronted Fig Parrot (Nannopsittacus nigrifrons) is a small, predominantly green parrot from New Guinea, often considered a subspecies of the Large Fig Parrot. It is distinguished by dark markings on its forehead.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests and forest edges in certain regions of New Guinea, typically in the central mountainous areas.
How to spot
Look for its small size, bright green plumage, and the dark markings on its forehead. They are often difficult to spot as they blend in well with the foliage while feeding.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often observed in small groups foraging quietly in fruiting trees. Best seen in early morning and late afternoon.
