Spotted
The Blue-headed Racquet-tail is an attractive parrot endemic to the Sulu Archipelago in the southern Philippines. It stands out with its green body, blue head, and the unique racquet-tipped tail feathers.
Where to spot
Inhabits lowland forests and forest edges, particularly on the islands of Tawi-Tawi and Sanga-Sanga in the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines.
How to spot
Look for the combination of its green body, blue head, and the unmistakable racquet-tipped tail, especially in flight. Listen for its loud, screeching calls that can carry through the forest.
When to spot
Most active during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging for fruits and seeds. They are resident within their limited range.

This species is notable for being one of the few racquet-tail parrots with a distinctly colored head (blue), providing a clear identifying feature apart from the characteristic tail.
