Spotted
The Blue-rumped Parrot is a small, predominantly green parrot native to Southeast Asia. It gets its name from a distinctive blue patch on its rump, which is a key identification feature.
Where to spot
Found in lowland and montane rainforests, forest edges, and sometimes plantations across the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and some smaller adjacent islands.
How to spot
Look for its small size and overall green plumage, paying close attention to the blue rump patch in flight. Listen for its soft, whistling calls, which are less harsh than those of many other parrots.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon when feeding. They are resident birds within their range.

Unlike many larger, more boisterous parrots, the Blue-rumped Parrot is often quite cryptic and quiet, spending much of its time foraging in the canopy, making it challenging to spot.
