Inhabits montane forests and cultivated areas in the eastern Himalayas, including parts of northeastern India, Bhutan, Tibet, and southwestern China.
How to spot
Look for its large size, vibrant green body, and distinctive purple-grey head. Use the bill color to differentiate sexes. Listen for its loud, screeching calls, often given in flight or while perched.
